I am not under the Chase 5/24 rule at this time.

I have:
AAdvantage: 170,000 miles
Delta SkyMiles: 16,000
United Mileage Plus: 129,000
Choice Privileges: 59,000
Hilton Honors: 64,000
IHG Rewards Club: 89,000
Chase Marriott Rewards: 114,000
Wyndham Rewards: 51,000
Chase Business Ink Preferred: 88,000
Chase Freedom Unlimited: 0
Chase Sapphire Reserve: 375,000 -- I'm probably cancelling by end of 2018 due to annual fee
Chase Amazon: 0
Citibank ThankYou Rewards: 55,000
Chase United Explorer MielagePlus: 50,000
Navy Federal Credit Union Flagship Rewards: 45,000 -- I'm cancelling in a few day

I do have a 'special offer' letter for 60,000 miles after spending $5k in 12 months (from Citi AAdvantage Gold Mastercard).

Is there a card out there for which you would suggest I apply? Maybe something that would work well with the cards and/or points that I have at this time?



Thanks.

I have a spend of about $6000 coming up and I’d like to apply it to a new card that has a good bonus...if there is something out there that is worthwhile.
It would seem to be impossible for anyone to provide insight without knowing your travel patterns and habits.

Do you consistently fly the airlines and stay at the hotel chains that you mention, or are you simply collecting cards and banking the miles and points?Are you getting any value from those cards that you are paying annual fees on? If not, perhaps some consolidation would simplify your situation.

If the CSR is your general spending card( which is a guess based only on the amount of points), do you have an alternative in mind if you do cancel?

If you were to provide more specifics as to your intentions and needs, I think you would get more responses to your inquiry
