I am considering getting the Delta card for our business because I think we might be able to earn at least one other free ticket within the next year. I don't see the point in trying to rack up AA miles right now since we're so far long with Delta - is this type of thinking wrong? - now watch, Delta will go bankrupt and we'll lose everything .

For personal use - I am looking at the Starwood card to charge things (I don't really plan on using the Delta one - just getting it to get almost 30,000 free miles) - Starwood seems like they take so much fewer points to get a free night than the other hotels - Hilton, Marriott - why is this? Is it harder to earn points with them?

What do you think??
Both the Delta Amex and the Starwood Amex are Amex. You should have a Visa or Mastercard for those places that don't take Amex.
