Conclusion

There are three options for consumers and one business card. The $450 card comes with Diamond status and all kind of other benefits that easily covers the fee for anyone that travels a bit and stays at Hilton affiliated hotels.

The only downside is that American Express acceptance is not as good as Visa and Mastercard especially with smaller merchants (no way around this. I just experienced this yesterday when paying some travel purchase online.
