There are also some solidredemptions at a low level: http://thepointsguy.com/2015/05/best-low-level-hilton-awards/. Nothing super aspirational of course, but still something.

Big diff. Is that the hyatt nights can be used any day, but the Hilton ones are officially only for weekend nights.
From what I've read it's pretty simple to fix that problem.

I think Dan has post basically saying the same that the only card really worth it is the Hyatt unless you have a specific destination in mind...can't seem to find it... Please post link if you know where it is...
Huh? Do you mean the only hotel card that's worth it? Even the Hyatt is not worth it if you don't plan to travel near a Hyatt within 12 months (and don't plan to sell the nights).

There are also some solidredemptions at a low level: http://thepointsguy.com/2015/05/best-low-level-hilton-awards/. Nothing super aspirational of course, but still something.
I'd go for even a non-aspirational property, but those locations don't interest me. Obviously, that's a personal thing.

18 months from when you last opened or closed it, whichever is later.
Where did you see that?

Interesting. I'll have to consult the Citi expert and get back to you. Either way, wasn't it 40K before it jumped to 75K?

Sorry, looks like my information was lot for Citi AA cards. Could be that the HH cards are easier to churn. Cool to know, thank you! Did you close the first one before getting the second one?

From ft wiki

[2] Is this card churnable?
In the past, this card has been easily churnable. However, in December 2014 Citi began inserting language into some applications and landing pages disqualifying current Hilton Visa cardholders & requiring an 18-month wait from the date of the previous card's opening or cancellation. The 50K application link listed above does not include this restriction, and FTers have confirmed that they have been approved through this application despite being current or recent holders of another Citi Hilton card.

[3] How frequently can I apply for these cards?
You can only apply for one Citi card in a week and two in two months (60 days) . With the expiration of the 50K link above, you must now wait 18 months from your last closing or opening of a Citi Hilton Visa before you can earn the bonus again.

[4] Do I have to close my previous card before reapplying?
No. As stated above, in December 2014 Citi began introducing new application pages requiring an 18-month wait since opening or cancellation of the prior card.

I guess they changed it

Hampton inn in Littleton, NH would be 40,000 points per night. Outrageous!

Yep. I once needed a place at night on the road in some random city in PA and the Hampton Inn came up as an option for 40K. Hiltons generally are not cheap awards.

Considering I can MS nights at Conrad MLE for $150, I'd say that's pretty cheap.

Not sure why you pay that much. If anything TCB should be paying you $150 for a night at Conrad MLE.
