These are current?

Plus: 50k points w 3k bonus per year for $69 fee.
Premier: 50k bonus w 6k bonus per year for $100 fee.

I only want one card, so I won't be doing a business/personal double whammy. Which should I go with? Are they both even available to me? (great credit score, no recent pulls/CC opens) Do I need links, it seems like I can do both on their website.

And again, my hope is to downgrade it after they stop comp'ing my fees to a non fee card if possible. I will do all my major spending on this.

Its between a SW card and Starwood Preferred Guest, I want to put in place my main spending cards for the future. I will deal with 1 fee per year of the payoffs are worth it.

Thanks for any advice, still have to figure out how to spend my 150k points I have from my AA cards I did last time.
