What card next?

I seem to be getting bombarded with credit card offers (who isn't, I suppose), and I'm wondering if any of them are worth acting upon. My credit scores are solid and have no major purchases (i.e., house, car) planned.

I have had the Starwood Amex for a while and that's my primary card. I also got the Starwood Business Amex for the 30k point promo they were running over the summer.

I took part in the recent Citi/AA special for 75k miles (I got the email offer early and applied before reading the thread and learning that two personal applications needed to be submitted on the same day. Oh well, another 75k miles lost). I may try my luck with a business Visa.

I recently got the Southwest RR Chase Visa for 32 RR credits.

I also have a BofA Visa and CapitalOne MC that I have had for years and just use once in a while to keep active. And a corporate Amex that I have to use when I travel.

I know there is a Delta Amex offer for 45k miles that expires today. I don't fly Delta much, but it's 45k miles.

Sitting in my inbox are offers for:
- The new Hyatt Card (2 free nights, Platinum status, etc.)
- 80k Priority Club points & free night
- various Continental offers (Pres Club membership, 30k miles)
- various AA/Citi offers

I primarily fly American & Southwest, but would fly Delta, United/Co, etc. on reward travel.

Hotels are a little more fluid. I try to stay at Starwood, but often end up at a Marriott or Hilton for work, so my points are more spread around. I have over 100k Starwood points that I could redeem or transfer to AA one day.

I'm probably not going to see any more AA miles through Citi, so branching out might be wise. Then again, I could sit tight instead of just racking up miles and points for the heck of it. But what fun would that be!

I'm not sure what I am asking, but I guess I'm wondering who else in in the same boat, planning the next move.
