CC summary grid
How about a user generated grid / matrix that summarizes the various credit card programs? I've been searching many of the various postings trying to find the right card for keeping my AA points current, but could use a summary page.
I can't quite get the formatting down, but the chart or grid, below, should convey the idea and a basis for a web / forum guru to perfect the formatting.
Airline or Hotel // Credit Card Program // Offer date (start) yy-mm-dd // Sign-up Bonus // cash back % // Annual fee (1st yr.) // ann. fee (yr. 2)
American // Visa // 2010-05-01 // 20,000 miles // 3.00% // $0 // $45
Continental // Amex // 2010-01-01 // 5,000 miles // 2.00%
United // Mastercard // 1.00%
I'd be happy to help on the formatting and content, if needed.
Thoughts?

This blog has a pretty good grid on the right hand side if you scroll down a bit.

One on FlyerTalk would be nice as well though.

mxd and Iron Eagle, welcome to FlyerTalk. I hope it will be a positive experience for you.
You'll find a lot of the more valuable blogs and charts available on the Internet are actually done by FlyerTalk members. Also, don't overlook the FT Wiki -- and if you have a good idea, you may be able to start a Wiki page on your own.

I'd search on "hugely comprehensive". I'm pretty sure that was somewhere in the title. Started by gleff...an FT'er very knowledgeable about CC programs.
