Best c.c. to complement my existing cards?
Any recommendations for a new credit card that I should apply for that would complement the cards and points that I have?
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: 48,000
Chase Business Ink Preferred: 88,000
Chase Freedom Unlimited: 0
Chase Sapphire Reserve: 344,000
Chase Amazon: 0
Citibank ThankYou Rewards: 55,000
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 Id like to apply it to a new card that has a good bonus...if there is something out there that is worthwhile.

You're Chase heavy, not that it's a bad thing, and seem to have no Amex cards. The Platinum 100k signup is pretty nice. The Annual fee is high but the Uber & travel credits do offset that. 5x points on travel is also pretty nice. Could then add the PRG (first year free + $200 in airline fee credits before first annual fee is due) and/or the Amex Everyday card (no annual fee)
Additional options is one of the Amex DL cards .

SPG Business. Big 35K bonus ends 3/28/18 and the spend is 7K which I think is large, but fits with your upcoming 6K spend.
SPG points will be good flexible and diverse points for you. Plus the Sheraton Club/Lounge access is a nice perk that the personal card does not get.
