Finally got around to changing our primary card to one that gives us better rewards than the post-nerf US Airways card. Gonna keep the old one active so it doesn't hurt my credit by closing it and keep one or two recurring bills on it. I ended up taking Evan's (and my brother's) advice and going with the BoA Travel Rewards Signature due to how much we are on the road, but the cash back version is really nice too. What pushed this one well ahead of the pack was the fact that if you are a Platinum Honors Preferred Rewards member (ie a lot of your finances are with BoA/Merrill) among other really nice perks is a 75% rewards bonus on your credit card. So 1.5 points per dollar standard plus 75% bonus. There are smaller bonuses at the lower levels of Preferred Rewards as well.
No other rewards card I found comes close with that perk, that gives me 2.625 points for every $1~! Evan if you guys do a lot of banking with BoA you might want to look into that. I can set you up with my brother too if you want to chat with him about either the rewards or cash card they have.
