Going to be doing quite a bit of traveling this winter and hopefully even more in the future so I'm looking at getting an airlines card. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with cards like this and if you have any advice. I'm leaning towards Alaska or United programs. Anyone used these cards before? Or have anything you think is better?

AAdvantage no doubt. But It would be better if you got any card earlier because essentially you get miles from spending money with that card. Not from actually travelling.

But there are also perks of having an airline card for hotels, dining and all that other stuff. Benefits usually depend on the company.

Had a miles card from delta a while back because I flew to the US from europe a few times. Got me a free two way ticket from germany to the US

Get the delta one, you can pretty much go anywhere in the world with delta, I have around 750k on mine right now and that can take me pretty much anywhere i want to go.
