After a few App-O-Ramas over the past year or so and some difficulty getting my wife to remember which card, I'd like to only use one or a few cards going forward.

My wife and I travel 2-3x a year within the US and rarely travel for work, so not much on the end of reimbursable expenses and nights/stays toward elite status.

My thought process is that earnings points in Hilton, while less valuable on a per point basis, makes more sense because I can get Gold status with my Reserve and this gets me free breakfast and internet at most properties. This is quite a bit of savings for us. I'm not as interested in aspiration stays/properties as I am in just having free travel to US places we would like to visit. No Maldives for us, at least not right now.

I stayed at the W New Orleans recently and didn't even use the in-room internet ($15/day) and breakfast was on the expensive side too (read:budget travelers/newlyweds). I also wasn't overly impressed with my stay.

All that being said, I have the following cards:

Chase Freedom (w/ Chase Checking Account/Exclusives)
Chase Sapphire Preferred
Chase Ink Classic
Club Carlson Premier (me)
Club Carlson Premier (wife)
Citi Forward
AMEX Starwood
AMEX Delta Gold (me)
AMEX Delta Gold (wife)
AMEX Blue Cash Preferred (6% cashback on groceries)
Citi Hilton HHonors Reserve

Really just wondering where I should concentrate my point earning efforts for a budget traveler that isn't going to ever get elite status right now.
