Apply them on the same day to avoid hits on credit scores. To reach spending requirement, with Mint dead, well just buy Amex Giftcards for future use!

SPG can be transferred into AA miles at 1:1. iF you do 20K you will get 5K bonus, essentially 1:1.25. Sapphire can't be transferred into AA, but they can be transferred into BA, CO, Hyatt, etc.

Check out my website for detailed card analysis.
Hi, thanks for the reply. I can't apply for citi for another 2 months (they told me that over the phone). I already have the chase 100k BA, so I'm really deciding between the Starwood + Chase SW card OR just the Chase Sapphire. I can't do two spending reqs simultaneously otherwise I'd churn a whole set at a time.
