In terms of a Hilton with an AF, I would go with the Citi Hilton Reserve. With that card you basically get the same rewards, but you can net a free night when spending $10,000 a year. Furhtermore it has a EMV chip, which you can use if you travel abroad.
Thanks for the advise. I was mostly just looking at the upgrade for the 50k points. I may add another hhonors card, but I think the marriott card is a bit better. Check it out from the link in my signature.

They are by far the most profitable bank in the US, so they can afford to offer great rewards. Which attracts high quality borrowers and they then become even more profitable.

Chase has the most cards out there, but I'm sure Amex is still the most profitable. Since their default rates are the lowest, and Amex still has the reputation for being the best card out there, and majority of the businesses I know use Amex over anything else.

Chase is on top now. AMEX is far behind.
