That would leave me with just the Chase Amazon Visa with a 5k limit and the BOA rewards card (which I'll prolly cancel b/c i have not used it in years - i think they actually cancelled the card as it is not recognized when I enter the account number on the phone).

I am leaning towards either the CSP, the United Card, the Amex Gold, AA citi or British Airways.

Thanks
IMO, there is no good answer to this question until you have a specific plan for using the points. "J to Asia" isn't specific.
