stephlac, if you don't mind me asking I see you have status on both AA and Delta, which do you prefer and why? I have a delta amex on the way, and a citi AAdvantage card I just applied for, I want to use one for the majority of my purchases to get the most comfy flights from LAX to nashville tennessse and also I will need to go to Rome twice next year as my GF is going there on an exchange program through UCLA and I would prefer not to have to pay for the tickets. Thanks in advance!
