Hey everyone, beginning to start out on this awesome journey/hobby/timesucker of travel-hacking.

Which offer should I go ahead and do - the AMEX 45k delta offer or the AMEX SPG card? Or can I get both? I recently received the Citi AA card.

My score is high enough, as I notice I'm already pre-approved for the platinum card. But I don't want too many credit pulls on my report and wonder if I'd even get approved if I do both today?

AA will probably my my airline of choice for the status but I still think the miles (free flight(s)) from other carries are nice too. I don't really don't make many purchases (being a student) but have a merchant where I'll be able to make purchases on my card (for cash) daily, so I hope to rack up miles that way through SPG.

Thanks and much appreciation to all you guys sharing your knowledge and experiences throughout this forum - you guys rock!
