Marriott Premier Visa - Earn 2 points for every $1 spent on airline, dining and rental car purchases (annual cat 5 can offset annual fee)
Hilton HHonors AXP (regular or Surpass) Earn 6 HHonors bonus points for every U.S. dollar charged in the following everyday spend categories: grocery stores, drugstores, gas stations, home and wireless phone, cable and satellite TV, and Internet service providers. (no annual fee for the regular card)
It sounds like your other spend goes on HHonors AXP/Visa. You could also consider Cash Back (number of options - especially with the velocity of spend you have for any tiers.
