Help with card selection is needed
Hello everybody,
I need a help with card selection. Purpose to get a maximum bonuses
Card mainly will be used for purchasing online. I'm member of AAdvantage, so mainly fly with AA.
Most probably I will need a card with maximum cash back, but also will consider the programs which will give maximum of points (convertible to miles or travel credit)
Also will consider to open a card with highest sign up bonus for spending $xxx in y months
Thank you!

Do you presently have any Citibank cards? If you have one that has been open for a year or more, you could product change it to a Citi AT&T Access More card, which earns 3x TYP per dollar for most online purchases. TYP can be converted to miles in all 3 major airline alliances or cashed out at 1cpp with a bit of legwork.
It is a good card for Admiral Club access and getting mile, so I probably will not convert it
Thank you for suggested Citi AT&T Access More card - will check on it!

Chase has Ultimate Rewards points which are earned with the Freedom Card. Points are worth 1.5 when using Chase rewards to book on any airline I believe and can be transferred to several Airline programs

There are three card issuers to consider, but Chase is not one of them:
American Express:

(Starwood is a hotel program, and their points can be converted 1:1 to miles in many airline programs, including AA.)
Barclays:
