Hotel Credit Cards

[Catweazle]

It seems that hotel credit cards (HH for example) are not common here like they are in the USA. Do you think it's worth signing up to a foreign one, or stick to QFF and VA cards here? Any snags that I might be unaware of?

Amex Hilton with $450 AF is probably the best

Thanks, although I already have the QFF Amex.

Perhaps I should consider that for the future. Sounds like a good plan.

Can one switch over from QFF Amex to Amex Hilton? Or cancel one card, wait out the limbo period, then apply from the Amex Hilton?

There's a Hyatt card that comes with 65k points and a $95 annual fee. Thoughts?

My fiance loved our overnight stay at the Canberra Hyatt recently. Is that really valued at 9000 Hyatt points per night?

Check out the US Amex thread. That has the answers for you.
