Hey guys,

I'm considering adding to my collection of cards and wanted some advice. This started because I was thinking about jumping onto the Amex Gold 50k card match offer and then started thinking that I might want to just do a little app-o-rama while I'm at it.

Reasons I want the cards -- domestic econ where it makes sense, intentional business/first awards, help out with hotel stays if possible.

Cards I have/had recently:
Citi Dividend (don't use, but my oldest card)
Chase Sapphire Preferred (dining/travel)
Barclaycard Arrival (misc spend)
BoA Cashback (used to be Schwab 2% cash back, now it's the Americard... still no international or annual fees)
Chase United Mileage Plus (got the 50k bonus, recently xfered credit line to the CSP and closed it before the annual fee hit)

Cards I'm considering:
Amex Gold (50k signup, don't have any other Amex)
Starwood Amex (30k signup?, don't really stay at Starwood properties much, but the starpoints are valuable)
Chase Southwest Card (50k signup?, about to take a new job in San Diego so southwest points would help getting to see family back east)
Chase Freedom (10k signup? plays well with the CSP -- should I hold out for a better signup?)
Chase IHG Rewards (80k signup? Lots of IHG hotels around the world, help out with stays)
Citi AA (50k signup? I'm not a huge AA flyer (mostly United), but given the UA devaluation and the fact that I don't have many Citi cards, might be worth it?)

I'm not going to apply for everything on the "considerations" list, but I'd consider applying for several of them. I think the Amex Gold is a definite with the 50k points, but almost all of the others I'm on the fence about. Most of them I'd probably cancel before the annual fee hits. I'm not sure how many Chase cards I should carry...

Thoughts? Advice? Thanks!
