Thanks.
Amex Starwood must for anyone who uses hotels regularly.
I liked the starwood, but I went with the HHonors for the no AF. Came with a nice bonus and offers many pts/$. Only problem is the points don't go as far as the starwood points.

Their points have a much lower redemption rate too, I believe.

That is what I meant.
if you actually plan to use it, don't be afraid of AF's. The benefits make up for it if you actually do use them. Personally I don't stay in hotels enough to matter, most my travels are in Vietnam where most places don't even take credit cards haha

I carry 1 card with an AF. The US Bank flexperks sig. They waive the AF with $2k per month in spending. Other than that. I haven't found a card that warrants and AF. It seems like it is better to have several cards with no AF. Then just use the bonus categories that each card offers, can on average earn just as many rewards with no AF's.
Someday I will get a no AF card that has lounge access haha
Oh I thought

After I got the card. I called a rep to check out hotels and how many points they require. They gave me 3k free points after they noticed how many points it would take to get a night in a hotel near me...haha

My goal for next year is to have all the 3 cards with 5% bonus categories and no annual fees.
If that goal is accomplished early, I will look for an airlines card which grants lounge access. The first year's annual fee should be waived, so it'll be close to no AF.
