Biggest Miles Cards? All my Big Bills are in OCT/NOV/DEC + 60K for Aviator Card?

[SoCal Dude]

Hey everyone.
Any recommendations?
I have all my big bills due in OCT/NOV/DEC.
Home insurance, car insurance, property tax, life insurance & some smaller ones.
I have 3 people I can pull cards on: Me, wife & mom.
We have great FICO & open to all Chase cards since we haven't opened any in a while.
Any recommendations?

Also, while on biz flight yesterday I got app for AA Aviator.
60K AA Miles w/any first purchase after $95 annual fee.
Any first purchase!

Any comments?
These miles/points mean the life to us.  They make a difference in a family vacation & not.
Great stuff!
Thanks!
PS If anyone ever wants passes to famous Hollywood Magic Castle, plz PM me!

AA miles are practically useless these days.

All 3 of us are 0/24.  We're ready to launch!

Why are AA miles practically useless?
Can you explain?  Thanks.
We can use AA Miles on JAL.

So none of you have opened any personal credit cards in the past 2 years?

Then start with chase and move on from there.

My main question is what are the big miles?
I see 60K AA for 1 purchase & $95 annual fee.
I don't see any 100K sign-ups.  Do you see anything better?

Chase Ink preferred is 80k, you can also do UA, and CSP. Save barclay for when you're finished with chase.

Chase Business Ink Plus 80,000 pts (100,000 if you apply at bank via Relationship Manager). If you don't have a business you can still apply provided you sell something (e.g. Ebay, Craigslist) or have s blog. Search online "how to apply for business credit card"

The 3 Southwest cards are currently offering the highest historical bonus. 60,000 pts on each. Get two and you are set with the Companion Pass. This bonus is set to end Oct 1, so apply now. Apply for business version and one of the other personal versions on same day. Sometimes Chase will approve both, or go to review on the second and you can then get it through.

Chase Sapphire Pref is at 50,000 as is the Reserve. New Chase rules only allow one Signup bonus per "family". So if you done desperately need all the perks of the Reserve rather go for Sapphire Pref. ($95 annual fee vs $450)

Good luck

Only get the SW cards if you will get good value out of the companion pass, otherwise, I would go for UA over SW and either CSP or CSR. You should be able to get 3 approved in one day, although you may have to call recon.
