I have most cards in my sig but here they are here:
Amex Everyday
Amex BCE
Bank of America MLB rewards ( same as their rewards card)
Barclay's NFL extra points ( Not going to use )
Chase Freedom
Chase Sapphire ( carrying a $1,300 balance with a promo 0% APR)
Chase Slate
Chase Disney
Chase Amazon
Citi AA plat
Citi Simplicity
Citi Thank you
Citi DC
Discover it
Capital one playstation card
Might of been one or two I have forgot about excluding store cards
I am going to California for a week in March and just want to bring 1-2 cards max with me to basically put everything on it between the one or two cards. I am unfortunately not using AA but Jetblue since Jetblue is around $580 round trip but AA is around $200 more for the days I am traveling and I am buying two tickets but otherwise if I was going by myself I would of taken advantage of my AA card. My AA card is brand new so I am wondering would it be better to use that card for everything to help me get to the $3,000 spend or should i chase rewards? Ideally I think I want to use my Amex Everyday, Citi DC or my Citi AA plat card but im not sure which is the best. I know Discover offers 5% on travel and on top of that double % CB but I don't particularly like their benefits with the insurance and etc

You didn't mention whether you'll be paying off balance right away or you're going to carry the balance for awhile. If you're carrying the balance, that would make a huge difference when choosing a card.
Lastly, I see you have a Disney card. If Disneyland is part of your trip, using that card will get you certain perks in the parks. I think you get 10% off certain food and souvenirs, and there's a character meet or something that's only for Disney VISA holders. I don't remember exactly, but it'd be worth taking if that's where you're headed.
I am already carrying one balance so I wont be carrying this one. I will be paying this one off 100% anything related to this traveling like air fare and etc. I probably can't put on the Airfare onto my AA card since I don't even have it and probably going to book the flight tonight or tomorrow once I figure out the days I want to go. At Disneyland I might use the card there but otherwise I pretty much only got it because i liked the card lol

If you use your Citi AA plat to meet the $3000 spend and get the bonus, isn't that also reward chasing?
Personally that's probably the one I would use because I'd hate to miss out on the bonus. Unless you know for sure you will meet your spend with other expenses, then I would look at the other cards.

I meant reward chasing as into using a bunch of cards for the maximum rewards. I ideally only want to use one or two cards to simplify my bill at the end of all this. Yeah I won't get the maximum CB or whatever but I really don't care. As far as my AA card goes a big chunk of the trip won't be on it since I am going to book the flights before I get the card since I rather not lose out on the prices of the flights or ideal seats that I want. I probably will make the spending because I decided to get the card before I ever knew I was thinking of taking a trip to Cali next month. I am probably going to turn the AA into my everyday card to rack up miles instead of CB with my DC

Gotcha. I usually use CSP for flights and hotel, then only take 2 or 3 cards with me when I travel. On my last trip I took CSP for hotel and dining, Discover for everything else and Capital One QS as a backup, in case places didn't take Discover. I like to keep it as simple as possible, even if I lose out on a few reward points.
You should probably take your newly acquired Amex Hilton now too.

Yeah I decided on the Amex hilton and probably the AA card with my DC as my backup since I have that tied to the Car rental with National.
I got rid of my CSP since I didn't want to pay the AF and lately I been moving away from using my chase cards and using Citi. Was curious about the Citi card with Hilton but oh well got the Amex one so I am happy.
