Airlines (Delta and others) 400
Hotel (Crown/Hilton) 400
Car National 200
Food/Gas 100
Amazon purchase 100
Costco 100

If I go with Delta AMEX, and buy ticket on AIRTRAN, I won't get points, right?
Does it make sense to go with non branded card like AMEX GOLD?


Grateful for your suggestions
For the airline purchases I suggest the Penfed Travel Rewards Amex with gives a min. 5% back in the form of gift cards and >5% back in the form of travel. It also has no foreign exchange fee.
