If you can really drive a lot of living expenses to an MC/Visa, the AA card is probably a better option than an HH Visa. For most people, 1 FF mile is worth more than 1 HH point. </font>
OOPS!
The HHonors Visa earns 2 points per dollar spent & 3 on HHonors Hotel purchases, while the AAdvantage Visa or MC earns 1 mile per US$.
Personally, I gave up my AAdvantage card in favor of HHonors Visa & Starwood Amex for the lack of/low annual fee & because I need free hotel rooms to get good use out of the AAdvantage miles I already have.

Bottom line Which do YOU like better? Free Hilton rooms or free flights?
