I am getting the southwest card next. I got turned down for the southwest card last week(i already have the freedom, sapphire preferred and marriott's, will call in to get the credit limits lowered).

The marriott's card just seems like a hell of a deal. annual fee is 85 dollars(waived the first year), and each year you get a free night at a category 1-5 hotel. a category 5 hotel usually costs $250+ for a night.

Again, it comes with 70000 signup, a free night at a category 1-4 hotel and no annual fee for first year just for signing up and making one purchase. I wouldnt suggest the marriott card to someone as a main card, get the sapphire preferred first.

I also have the amex blue cash(gives 3% cashback on all grocery purchases, 2% on gas, and 1% on everything else, and it is the only cred card that costco uses, and I do a lot of shopping there) and amex delta sky miles options(used to have the delta sky miles gold but switched to the options card because it has no annual fee).

The chase ink also uses ultimate rewards(I will likely add this later in the year) and so does the freedom card(I already have a chase freedom mastercard, has rotating categories)
