I have to admit, I'm kind of hooked on the points/miles thing. Trying to anticipate 2013 and looking for suggestions.

Helpful information (almost everything here applies equally to my wife, except as noted):

2012 got CSP, UA, DL, AA, US, and Hyatt. Also got Hawaiian and Marriott for myself (which I used for trade bait), and Amex Plat and biz gold for wife. Keeper cards are CSP and PRG (which I've had for years).

I had Amex Biz Gold and Plat, both cancelled in early 2012.

Not much interested in hotel rewards, or in domestic Y. Willing to pay Amex Plat fee if I get at least 50K signup bonus, as I can use the other benefits, but much prefer it to be in my wife's name for lounge access.

Goal is to have so many points that I can say "Let's go to Vegas for a long weekend" or for that matter "Let's go to Rome for a long weekend." Also burn 300K Amex points a year on Air Canada. I have had decent luck in booking biz/first awards to Europe on DL, but my biggest single pot of miles (350K) right now is on DL and I earn about 50K DL points a year from my credit card. CC spend is about $25K/yr plus additional manufactured spend from certain other sources.

Right now I am thinking about Amex Plat for myself, if I can get a 50K bonus, and Chase Ink Bold, from which I would buy vanilla GC's at office store and use those in place of CC's for my actual spend. If we each got Ink Bold and I got $10K in GC's for each of us, that would be a total of 250K points (50K Amex and 200K UR) which would have seemed great in the past, but after doing about 750K this year seems so paltry by comparison.

Suggestions from the crowd?
