Thanks for the suggestions!

I currently have the AMEX SPG and Sapphire Preferred and have already collected those bonus points. I got the Citi AA Amex and Visa cards last year and accrued 150k pts (my sister signed me up eith 2 browser trick).

I really like the idea of Getting both Ink Bold and Plus but how should I go about getting them? I signed up for 4 cards in late June so I'm going to wait a few weeks before another application binge. Should I get the Bold first, then the Plus 3 months later? Same time?

OP, if your credit is good then you should use the spending to meet spending requirements on multiple cards. You'll get way more from focusing on sign up bonuses than on category bonuses. With $20k spending you could get the following:

2 x Citi AAdvantage 50k = $6k spending in 4 months

1 x Chase United 55k = $1k spending in 3 months

1 x Amex SPG 30k = $5k spending in 6 months

1 x Chase Sapphire Preferred 40k = $2k in 3 months

2 x Citi Hilton 50k = $3k in 6 months

1 x Citi Thank You Premier 50k = $2.5k in 3 months

With the remaining $500 you could get any of these cards that require only a first purchase to get the bonus: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/credi...end-offer.html
