I'm a little concerned about how status and miles will transfer after the merger. Just really hoping they combine accounts sooner rather than later so if there is any negative I can adjust.
I would have little concern on those fronts. IMO doing the CP challenge on US makes the most sense. Highest status, clear path to extending it, reasonable cost. Relative to program consolidation, they would have to do something crazy for it to create a problem for you.

Personally, I don't see the point of the US card except for a signup bonus but that applies to a lot of cards.
