Howard: Welcome to Flyertalk! We love the Starwood AMX. It is our primary card. Nice things about it: low annual fee, ocassional bonus promos, points transfer to airline miles = 20,000 gets 25,000 (not that I would trade points for miles!) and Starwood is very easy to redeem hotel rooms.

Before this card the Marriott Visa was our hotel earning card. We have really done well with both cards, but the Starwood one is the hands down winner.
