The easiest card to churn is the Citi AA card, but you can try churning any card out there-sometimes you get lucky, sometimes you dont.

Also AA's mileage availability is second to none.

As far as the value of domestic miles, here's the order from most to least valuable IMO:

AA
Continental
United
USAirways
Delta

When does citi charge the annual fee and do you have to pay it every time you open a new account? Can u have multiple card at the same time?

There is no annual fee for the first 12 months, and you can have multiple cards at the same time.

There is no one best program, but Starwood is probably the most valuable.
