What are your travel goals?

Really accumulating enough points I can use on aspirational trips. For example I have a friend getting married in South America eventually and want to use my points to that.

Are you under 5/24?

Yes I am

There are more than 2 Marriott cards.

I like the two AA cards. Barclays only requires one purchase

Delta Amex has a great bonus, even better with referral. Can refer if you are interested.

Delta SkyPesos are entirely worthless. I looked at a business class ticket to Australia. AA wanted 170k miles. Delta wanted 980k. I’m sitting on >500k Delta miles (sadly) and frequently check DL, AA, and UA award prices when looking at tickets. I have yet to find a single instance where Delta didn’t require at least 4x the miles AA wanted. Useless signup bonus and useless miles

OP, dive deeper into the Chase Business card eco system. Consider picking up a CIC or CIU for the SUB. You can always transfer the points to your CSP for the higher redemption rate.

Happy to provide a referral to either card if interested.

Citi AA you can get twice, Barclays AA you can get twice. Cycle every 2 years.

OP I below 5/24 so they should consider the value of hitting business cards vs. loading up on personal cards that push them beyond 5/24.

I’d actually go for the BA, Iberia, and/or Aer Lingus cards. They all have 100k point signup bonuses at the moment, you can move points between the programs, and it’s a distance based award chart with some definite sweet spots (like US to Caribbean islands and west coast to Hawaii on AA)

Loan payment question. I have two federal loans. One has no accumulated interest and is ~$110k.
