Citi Reserve (got the 2 free nights. Used it for Hilton in Venice. Keeping it, put $10k spend a year to get the 1 free night)

AMEX Surpass (got the 80k points, and use this card to get Hilton points)

AMEX SPG

I had:

Chase Fairmont (got 2 free nights, Stayed at The Savoy in London. Canceled after the AF hit. I should have kept it. You do get an annual free night, and upgrade / breakfast certs).

Chase Marriot (got the 70k points. Canceled after the AF hit)

Cards I want to apply for:

IHG (trying to save my hard inquiries. Probably won't apply for a CC within the next 6 months)

Wyndam (I would want to apply for this, but Barclay is pretty strict. I already have 3 barclay card, probably won't get approve.

Cards I won't apply for:

Carlson
Why not Carlson? I have Fairmont, Ritz, Hyatt, Wyndham, Citi Hilton and plan on keeping all of them. Planning to apply for Carlson in six months and was just curious why you don't think it's worth it.
