Any card that we can use at Hilton to maximize the points and potentially pay for future travel?

Amex platinum or CSR is a good option or any other options we should consider?
Does Amex platinum and CSR pay if we dont use their portal and charge is directly paid at Hotel like Swiping?
US Bank awards three points per dollar charged to its Altitude Reserve Visa card for "travel" and mobile-wallet purchases. Each point is worth 1.5¢ when redeemed for travel.

So if you want some or all of your spend as 4.5% in credits against future travel -- rather than as hotel or airline points/miles -- the Altitude Reserve is a card worth considering.
