Same here. I am hoping to see more hotel co-branded credit cards as well in Canada. The AMEX SPG is decent, except that we only earn 1 Starpoint for all purchases, there is no bonus category. Definitely hoping to see the first year annual fee waived at some point.

Definitely how you leverage your points does play a role. Though I would say, if you can, just get both.
