As we're pretty happy with Chase as a card provider, switching Chase cards is an obvious option. Another one is switching to AmEx. I'm not particularly interested in picking up an Citi AA card; I used to have a Citi card and was not all that impressed with their service.

My question: Are there options I'm overlooking or am I right that I should focus on the Chase vs AmEx options?
What do you have in mind? Are you primarily interested in spend accumulations or sign-up bonuses? Also, quite honestly, I don't understand why it has to be Chase or Amex? Why not both and then some?
