I just have a general question. My wife and I have been concentrated on United miles and Chase Ultimate reward points for the last year. We are pretty much maxed on the chase cards that we are allowed between United, Chase, Continental and Mariott, so I wanted to start going in a different direction.

I would like to go with another airline's points, we fly primarily out of Cedar Rapids, Iowa (CID). I was thinking either AA or Hawaiian Airlines (we have been to Hawaii twice, and would like to go again!) and I think we could fly hawaiian from Chicago via United, right?

Anyhow, what direction would you guys go, what is more valuable? Go with the 2x35k hawaiian or 2x50k AA? I was also thinking of possibly HiltonHonors, but by the way it sounds AA points are more valuable.

We are planning a trip to Disney (Either florida or California) in the next couple years, so anything to help with that would be great also!
