It sounds like you are not willing to MS - is that correct? If you are so willing, I would also get an Ink Cash for each of you as the next move. SPG will probably have a 30k offer available at some point if you are willing to wait.

For the Alaska cards, get the business version first rather than personal if there are still any Chase cards you are interested in, because it will not show up on your personal credit report and thus not count towards 5/24.
