Let's see. I have:
74k in sky pesos (Delta)
62k in American miles
20k in Citi Thank You Points
500 Allegiant Miles (just cleaned that account out for free Vegas flight)
1400 SW points. I doubt I earn any new points here for the forseeable future.
My next target is Amex points.
I am using the Sky Pesos for a Round trip Korean Air flight to Thailand.
Is there a reason you are not looking at Chase?

I was looking to fill a specific need. Amex Delta Gold kept increasing my points offer. The final offer via a postal mailing was 70k for a 2k spend. I knew with the additional points from the 2k spend, I'd have enough points for a roundtrip to Asia and back via Korean Air. Their interiors are old but their seats are big and they even serve real food with silverware in economy.
From there, I snatched up the Barclay's Aviator Red because there wasn't a spend challenge other than to pay the annual fee and put one charge of any amount on it for 60k American points. These points will be used for a future international trip.
Then citbank kept sending me offer after offer via postal mail and I settled one that offered me 15 months at 0% and then an ongoing rate that was much less than the travel cards. I will likely use these points for a future trip to Vegas or two.
Finally, just opted for a new travel card but I want to discuss that in another thread.
I have opened all of these accounts in the last year and added ton of available credit on my credit report so I think I am done for now as I have most of my air travel needs coverd for the next two years.
Wyndham rewards can be used at any of the Caesar's properties on the strip and their other casinos. I've been a member for 15 years now. Lots of promotions. Stay two nights get enough points for one night, etc.
