START HERE! Welcome, General Advice, and Index of Popular Threads
Welcome!
You've found one of the best resources in the travel world for information on earning miles, points, and perks from credit cards.
There is an incredible amount of knowledge here, curated from years of experience in chasing travel goals. The purpose of this thread is to point you in the direction of the information most likely to help you, where ever you are in that journey.
The references in this thread are only to the most popular, recent discussions. We encourage you to use the "Search this Forum" link to uncover additional threads about less popular topics or offers before posting.
General Advice
One of the bedrock cultural preferences of this community is to encourage each person to commit to researching and learning about the various elements of this hobby and then asking questions. In other words, somewhere in this forum is the answer you seek but - because there are so many nuances and details to these offers - the process of finding your own answers will help you build your own instinct in crafting your personal strategy. However, if you become frustrated, do not hesitate to ask. We would rather have too many questions than too few!
If you invest the time in searching and reading, yet your question is still not answered, you'll usually have the best results posting your question in a recently active thread on a closely related topic, rather than creating a new thread. One noteworthy exception: If you are developing a personal application strategy that is not already covered by a destination-related thread, you may create your own thread in the Credit Card Programs forum. Preferably, the first post in that thread would outline the details of your own travel goals, review the research you've already completed, and suggest a possible draft strategy for the community's comments.

Which Forums Relate to Credit Card Topics?
Where should I search or post for answers?
There are seven different places to look, depending on your exact question:
Credit Card Programs
The general forum for questions related to credit cards that earn miles, points, and other perks. If your question does not fit anywhere else, bring it here.
American Express | Membership Rewards
The place for discussion on all cards issued directly by American Express, including Membership Rewards and cashback cards. Exceptions: All Hilton branded cards are discussed in the Citi | ThankYou Rewards forum; cards issued by other banks but using the Amex network are discussed in the Credit Card Programs forum.
Chase | Ultimate Rewards
Threads relating to all cards that earn Chase Ultimate Rewards points, as well as most Chase co-branded airline and hotel cards, belong here. Notable exceptions: Hyatt and Southwest card discussion happens within those programs' own forums.
Citi | ThankYou Rewards
Conversations regarding Citi products that earn ThankYou Points, as well as other proprietary points systems managed by Citi and co-branded miles/points products. In particular, this includes Citi-issued American Airlines cards, as well as all Hilton HHonors cards (both Citi and Amex versions).
Diners Club | Club Rewards
Discussions regarding the current state of the Diners Club system and point transfers live here.
Manufactured Spending
Any and all discussion about creative ways to boost the total volume of credit card spending, in order to meet minimum spending requirements, boost point balances, or unlock high-spend benefits should be held here.
MilesBuzz
Promotions, third-party points, and other ways to earn free travel that are not tied directly to credit cards are discussed here. Examples: Checking account rewards, shopping portal bonuses, social media check-ins...
Each program's own forum
If you have questions or insight regarding using the actual miles or points themselves, or experiences with an airline or hotel group's service, your best resources will likely be found within that program's own forum on FlyerTalk. In other words, if the topic is not specifically about a credit card, it's usually better to post in a specific program's forum.
