I think this card's going in the sock drawer after my May statement. 7x on domestic Hilton is worth something, i guess, probably a wash with 2x on CSP, although here YM definitely V.
It completely depends on your immediate need of hotel stays. If you have some expensive locations coming up, then it would still be worthwhile.
If no particular needs it is totally not worthy. The Club Carlson card looks better and better now - 5x on anything outside hotel stay and the best feature is 1 free award night on every award stay. That is huge saving if you are doing a 2 nights award stay.
