American Airlines is Eliminating Hotel Partnerships, Including Hilton
While earning hotel points is one way to reward yourself from your stays at hotels, many times you can opt to earn airline miles instead hotel points. Airlines have various agreements with hotels so their members can be rewarded when they sleep.
As of April 1st, American Airlines is going to be ending some of the partnerships that customers may have taken advantage of.

Just a couple of days ago, American Airlines shot out an email to their AAdvantage members letting them know that they would be eliminating certain hotel partnerships:
Thank you for being a member of the AAdvantage® program. We know you value the ability to earn AAdvantage miles through many of our partnerships, and we want to let you know about changes with some partners. Effective April 1st, AAdvantage members will no longer be able to earn miles or convert points to miles with Best Western® Hotels and Resorts, Choice Hotels® or Hilton. Members can still earn miles or convert points to miles through March 31, 2020.
We continue to cultivate partnerships which suit our customers’ changing travel preferences and needs. You still have many options for earning miles through every hotel stay with a variety of our global hotel partners. We encourage you to explore some of our best hotel offers now.
We look forward to seeing you on your next adventure.

Perhaps the biggest one there is Hilton, but since Hilton often offers great points promotions, you probably should be earning Hilton Honors points there.
