(Frankly, you should be aware that although the nominal values of Delta and Hilton points/miles are low, they have their uses. Just know that other points are nominally more valuable, like AA or Hyatt.)

People don't dig into the points valuations to realize that in general you can expect .5cpp from Hilton, and 2cpp from Hyatt. Between 10k Hilton and 2.5k Hyatt doesn't Hilton *feel* better? It shouldn't.
Overall, these hotel chain programs return about 20% of value when using their respective credit cards. Don't be fooled by the nominal valuation of points, like "40X promo!"
Sometimes they had international RT flight deals with just 35K miles. Other times, it is 50K or 75K to get somewhere. If you work even some of the bonus angles, the miles can add up.
Once I ran into a man paying locals to fly in Asia because the points earned for each ticket were 3x the cost of the ticket for each person. He had 5 people flying with him just to get the miles. I think that's a bit crazy, but he said he did it 3 times the prior week too. After a few weeks, that bonus trick didn't work anymore.
I don't tend to stay at Hilton properties, but may choose to in a few personal upcoming trips to conferences in May and June. Just depends on the total cost when following their booking rules.
