First time poster - New job, wanting to maximize my travel experience.

Hello FlyerTalk members!

I have taken a new position where I will be able to use my own credit cards for company travel/food. It should be safe to assume I will be flying once a month, round trip with the occasional additional flights.
Being based out of DFW, I am assuming based off my quick research, I will want to fly American. I will typically be flying out West. Currently I am an AAdvantage member, I am 17,863 away from Gold. My company wants me to book coach and I am looking to get upgrades due to my height. I would also like to earn miles / status for my family's benefit. My credit score is over 800, I can get approved for any CC as needed for this new venture.
(We currently only use cash back cards, so I can get almost any card/s that will benefit us)

I welcome discussion and guidance on how to start off on the right foot correctly.

Thank you!
