I started with the Cap1 Venture because of the 2X perk, but that seems weak now, compared to the bonuses of other cards. perhaps I should get one card at a time, earn the bonus, and then cancel each one after I've held it for the minimum time period. with the bonunes alone I should be able to accumulate 300,000 miles annually. who knows, by summer 2014 maybe me and the wife can take a trip!?!
That's a sensible start, except for prematurely cancelling. I would grab the USAir card with no fee for the first year on the same day as whatever other card you decide on, since it has no minimum spend and gets you free future AA miles.
