Which card is the best?
I'm interested in getting a credit card to earn miles on purchases, but I'm not sure which card offers the best value.
Capital One card says that I can use miles earned on over 100 airlines. How does this work?
How do AMEX Gold, AMEX Delta Skymiles, Continental Airlines Card, & American Advantage Card compare?
I'm looking for help and/or suggestions, Thanks.

If you take an hour or two to study the info in the credit card section of my website Free Frequent Flyer Miles, you will then be in a good position to ask questions.

Roman Dog,
If I had to pick one card I would choose the American Express Starwood card
because of the number of airlines that you are able to transfer to.
If I had to choose a non Amex card I would pick the American Airline Citi-Bank
card.
Good luck!
