Will only have to spend $8k on the HH AMEX (at 5 pts. per $ only) to get a 1 night at a HH Cat. 6 hotel vs. $10k on SPG AMEX for only a Cat. 4 hotel.

Only problem I see is that I will now have to figure out which HH properties I might want to stay at! With SPG I pretty much knew the program and most of the properties I was considering using points at. Oh well....that's what FT is for. Learning new things!
I am the opposite. I have cut down my HH amex for SPG. Hilton has had so many promos I need to balance my accounts.
