Interesting -- but if you have a AAA card, know how to get good discounts at Hiltons don't use the $25 coupons and can't stand travel agencies, where is the value in this?
I get spending $299 for something worth at best $225 using the 1 cent per point rule for the 2500 points they give you.
Now if it came with elite status, that's a different story.

The second one seems a better deal, if you use both certs, the full $40 in-flight wifi reimbursement and the delta miles it's $449 for essentially $440 worth of stuff, plus the other hard-to-valuate items (travel and VIP concierge, tech support, roadside).

The rest of this is garbage...It's like trading a $20 bill for 3 $5s

IF someone REALLY got 5% back, in cash, it would be a great deal then. Provided they didn't charge Travel Agent Service Fees.

SHOCKED that Hilton would work with a company like this. Was told to call 1-800-716-4809 from Hilton Select.
Call that number and you're sold a cruise...inquire about anything but that and the number hangs up on you. Again, awesome.
