Hey all I am currently an HHonors Amex user, and with no hiltons on Maui, and the Park Place hotels out of the group, my leisure travel is pretty much not where Hilton is..
Can I call and have my card switched to *wood or do I have to go through the whole approval process again?
Thoughts please :)

I've read that if you switch your card, you do not get the first year bonus points. If this is indeed true, you want a new card that gives you bonus points for stays your first year.

Why even consider switching? I'd suggest not closing the HH Amex (since it's no annual fee) and using it as a back-up after opening up a *wood Amex. Unless you have a plethora of cards in your wallet, it probably won't hurt to keep both open.
