Do you have just one AA card? Last I checked there are 3 -- Visa, Amex (but still Citi), and Mastercard -- heck, it's 4 with the business card. All of them are pretty good, 40-50K points, some statement credits, admiral passes, etc. If you got one, go after the others. For me, Citi and Chase pull reports from separate agencies, if that helps.
I too feel like I'm in holding pattern, ready to pounce on any grand offers lurking around the corner. But there are still some decent deals to be had. Doing less to nothing is always a viable option too. Like Rick at FTG likes to say, this game is a marathon, not a sprint.
