Travel rewards / points / credit card programs
There are so many different options out there I am having trouble choosing what to go with. I know a lot of people like Starwood Amex but there hotels are on the more expensive side. How much do you charge on the credit card every month to earn a free room?
are there any other similar cards for cheaper hotels?
Im so overwhelmed by all the choices don't even know where to start researching....
TIA

Re: Travel rewards / points / credit card programs
A night at a Sheraton is usually around 7000 points or $7000 spent on the AMEX. They also have options where you can do a mix of points and cash. We like to stay at Westins with the kids.
I looked into the Marriott card and it was more like 20,000 points per room.

Re: Travel rewards / points / credit card programs
I don't like credit cards that require the use of only one brand. I love AMEX because I can use my points anywhere and if I don't have enough I can use the points I do have to pay part of it and pay the rest in cash.
