What airline credit card is best for Bay Area travelers? Or should I just stick to chase reserve? Was thinking Alaska or United since they seem to have better points value vs. Delta

Depends where are your top flight destinations. United has a hub in SF so they frequently end up being our best option in terms of direct flights and price. Having the United cc gives you some benefits you’d only get with airline status (early boarding, free checked bag) so it is worth it for me. I also have a Chase card since the points are more flexible though.

SFO is a United hub. If you travel extensively for work and personal. Makes most sense. Alaska is limited to where Alaska flies. Though their acquisition plans/intentions are seeking more slips.
