Right now, I have none [by choice]. I want to start with an American Express
Why would I be better off with the Hilton Cards, etc?

This thread is about gaining status from using (heavily) credit cards .
What
fatfrog said. Since your new line of questions is about credit card per se, you should revisit those relevant threads in
Credit Card Programs/Partners and join the discussion there. You will find ongoing discussion of all Amex cards and other credit cards (including cashbacks). Posting your questions in the right fora will get you faster responses and keep our fora less scattered. Especially for a student FTer, there are TONs of useful info in the credit card fora for you to learn and benefit from.
