The Amex PRG is 3 points only on airfare, I believe. Also, it charges FTF, which would be a deal breaker, in my mind, in the event that international stays might be anticipated.

I vote for the chase sapphire preferred. after the 7% annual dividend, you're looking at 2.14 points per $ spent on hotels.

Not knowing for sure what kind of "rewards" OP would prefer to earn, the CSP remains a very safe bet to accrue a stash of reasonably valuable points.
