Citi has 3 75k/100k AA.

Chase has BA 100k, Hyatt and 50/55k Continental.

Amex has the 50k Plat, the 25k Gold, third card is tough, either SPG or Hilton IMHO.

Please search for this info, it's been posted on here a gazillion times. What we really need is a proper wiki.

Are you advocating doing the 3 browser method with Chase still? Aren't you running the risk of being labled a credit risk?

I'm not advocating anything. The OP didn't ask whether it's a good idea, the OP asked which cards.

As far as your question, I think it'll work for someone who's likely to be instantly approved.

3k spend in 3 months for a measly 25k co? overrated in my opinion.

+1 I'm not even so sure it's worth an inquiry since there are much better offers out there

For both Amex and Chase I wasn't sure what the 3rd best card was, I guess it really depends on what points the person values and their travel/redemption patterns/preferences.

With perfect credit you can easily share an inquiry with the 100k BA or something.

Definitely a good idea if you can match it for a 50k offer. I'll find out soon enough IY"H.

why is the spg card worth it? for 10k spg points you can buy it directly from them for 3.5 cents (or other places for half that) thats less valuable than 23000 of any aa miles

because you are not signing up JUST to get the sign up bonus. As far as sign up bonus's go its not a great one

+1.
It's one of the best cards for spending, not for the signup bonus.
But do tell where you can buy SPG for "half of 3.5"
