You mention the Starwood card, what do you like about that one? Is that a personal card, or a business one?
It's a personal card. It yields 1 Starpoint per dollar spent, which I figure is about 3% using conservative estimations. I generally have plenty of uses for free hotel nights, so I monetize the rewards pretty quickly. Much easier for me to call it a "real" cash return than, say, an FF mile card where a mile I earn today might not get monetized for several years.
