Hello,
I am new and trying to get a handle on where to start. I am looking for a credit card to gain rewards to use for vacation hotel stays. I do travel frequently and would like to get highter points for travel. I fly mostly Delta. The hotels available to me when I travel are usually small non-chain hotels or Holiday Inn and La Quinta, so I can't gain points that way.

I am thinking the Starwoods or Marriot credit cards might work. But since I won't be staying there for work travel should I be looking at something else?
Is the Chase Sapphire preferred a good way to save for hotel points? I guess I just need to know if I'm looking in the right direction.

Thanks
