I'm thinking AmEx Gold as they have 25K points after spening $2K & they have great customer service.
However Chase Sapphire with 50K in Ultimate Awards after $3K spending seems good too.

Biggest issue is ability to get the credit card # tomorrow.
Is it possible & with which underwriter?

Thanks everyone!
Never heard of anything like that. You could ask the agent after having been approved, though. Quite a challenge. Even aside of the fact that you can't transfer either MR or UR points to American.
