OKAY after being a frequent reader for so long I finally have an up to date question that I can't seem to find in the community . Does anyone with airline credit card experience have advice on which are the top airline mile reward cards out there? I've cleaned and built my credit to a pretty good score but I'm trying to stick to only applying to cards that will be beneficial to me. HELP PLS. 
Do you fly a particular airline?
Also where you want to fly is another question that you may have to think about.

Yes we need more info. Which airlines, what city pairs, amount of travel, existing bank relationships, how are your credit reports.
Or take my approach and go for them all.
Good one

There is no right answer for this. airline cards are usually one of the last types of rewards cards people pick up. The major factors are what airlines do you have access to near your home? Are you near a hub? What airline are you flying? There is a 50k signup offer on the Citi AA card right now for 3k spend. The offer is decent, but if you aren't near an AA hub then may not be worth it. I avoid delta if I can because their miles program is garbage. If you have a CSP card and are saving up URs then maybe a chase united card and you can move over some URs to top off your account. There was a US air offer out there that was decent as well and will be merging with AA next quarter. You should only get a card for airlines you can easily get to to fly. The points devalue over time so its best to use them in the near future once earned.

+ 1 for Delta. They have promised a better redemption starting 2015 and I can already see the improvements. Just booked a trip to MSY for 25K miles. I would still stay away from Delta. I product changed my Delta to SPG after 1 year.
