Ditto on the Starwood Amex - try this link for a 4000 Starpoint bonus upon first use (it is a new offer, and the link listed above doesn't have this benefit). That can be used for a full weekend at some Starwoods - As mentioned, points can convert to many airlines, but the hotel awards are often worth more than the flights might be. Good flexibility.
