I have this card.
It is not bad, actually. The only problem I have encountered is that if you want to use the discounts towards tickets on LCCs, they typically will not do it. I could not, for example, redeem points for tickets on Spirit. However, there seem to be no problems with redeeming points for flights on majors. I recently redeemed points for a $400 discount on a IAD-CUR flight. I gave the agent the flight numbers on AA, and she cheerfully booked me in 5 minutes.
Even though the number of points you need is higher than on traditional mileage cards, the flexibility (you can choose between many airlines) makes up for it.

check out others also
I've had the travelermiles card since it came out. Primarily because it would download to quicken. There are a lot of choices now that also download. Biggest problem I've had is that travelermiles often can not find (or they do not want to find)the discounted fares. There are now a lot of cards that will download to Quicken. If you want a none affiliated mileage card my current favorite is the travelocity card. Downloads to quicken and you can book online. I use several cards to insure I have options when I need to book.
