November 2011: Chase CO
January 2012: Chase UA
February 2012: Amex PRG (Biz)
April 2012: Delta Plat (pers, biz), Barclays US, Citi AA (biz)
July 2012: Chase Ritz Carlton, Citi HHonors Reserve, SPG Amex (pers)
Aug 2012: SPG Amex (biz)

Red = canceled.

For my Fall 2012 round, I'm thinking Chase Hyatt, Chase Ink (biz; not sure which flavor yet), BOA/BOH Hawaiian.

On the horizon for 2013:

--Citi 50kx2 (fingers crossed that the offer still works come spring, when it will have been 18 months since the last round of apps).

--Amex Mercedes Benz 50k

--Amex Delta Reserve (pers, biz) (will probably need the MQMs).

--Barclays US

--Amex Hilton Surpass (for AXON awards)

--Chase Ink (whichever one I don't get this fall).

What do you think I should add to the list?

If you want Amex Plat benefits and a new signup bonus, consider the Benz card, which gives 50k MR points and similar benefits. The Ritz Carlton card also has $200 incidental reimbursement -- and you don't have to lock in to one airline! -- but a $395 fee (this summer there was a no fee version which may resurface).
