the only problem with getting them both, is I want to use one card exclusively since almost everywhere I go takes amex, I use a chase stockback card if they don't take amex, since it is such a small amount of places that don't take it. I will be charging 15-20,000 a year(full time student, part time job). Since that is such a small amount going with the delta may actually mean the difference between me getting one flight a year, or on AA, no flights a year because no double points, correct? I appreciate all of your responses so much, I am just trying to make the best decision here so your wisdom is greatly appreciated:-)
