Even if the $750 is subtracted from the $3000 it is still a much inferior earning rate to get 25K with $2250 spend.

I honestly could not understand why others see the new offer is a better offer unless they are math-challenged.
True, but some people want Hilton points & not AA miles. To each his own.
