Is there a consensus best offer out there right now?
Done:
Citibank AA card x 4
Capitalone
Chase British Airways x2
SPG x 2
Any thoughts on where to go from here? The Chase Sapphire 100k deal looked great but that's gone...
Is it a good time to get the Delta card out of the way at current 40k offer or should I go a different direction?
Thanks for the help!

My vote is for Chase Sapphire Preferred at 50k, fee waived first year and 7% yearly bonus on all points accrued, so its actually a 53,500 sign-up bonus.
Plus theres the Stamps.com easy 2,500 Ultimate Rewards points.

Get 2x more with the Biz cards. As others have mentioned, Sapphire Preferred is still strong at 50k, and I use it for all dining purchases. No foreign transaction fees is a nice bonus when I go overseas. Unlike a lot of other offers, this one is a potential keeper.

Sapphire 50k is probably the best card left for you. Or maybe the Chase AARP 5% on everything for first 6 months if your spend will make it a better deal for you.

Just to be clear though, you'll need to get your own wife
I'd also put the Sapphire high on the list right now, and the 75K AA cards which the OP already has, but still good for others.
Of course it's somewhat subjective depending on your travel patterns and needs - there may be some more middle-of-the-road cards (Alaska, DL, etc) that could fit the bill if someone has a specific need in mind right now.

Another middle of the road offer to consider is the CO card before the program disappears.
