Any recommendations on the best bang for your buck?
Yes. The American Airlines card through Barclays is superior in just about every respect. You pay $99 and make a purchase of any amount in 90 days, and you get 50K miles. Not only is it a far superior airline in way of service and comfort, there is no BS of having to charge a whopping $5K in the first 3 months. So you're getting 50K miles for $99 and making as little as a penny purchase. As a matter of fact, nearly every MAJOR full-service airline has much better card offers than Southwest with most waiving the fee the first year and having a $3K spend in the first 90 days for between 40 and 50K miles.

The cash value of 50,000 American Airlines miles is $645, on average, or the equivalent of at least one round-trip flight between New York and Los Angeles on American Airlines. AA miles are worth about 1.34 cents per mile, slightly less than average for a major airline.
That said, the value of 50,000 American Airlines miles could be significantly more or less than $645, depending on how you redeem them and when you fly.

And possibly bag fees depending on your status but at least one free .

I Don't fly AA are there free cancellations/ changes ?

You can go for as little as 23K r/t LAX/NYC area airports, with the average being 35K. Or what I did last month was SAN/MAD for 60K. With changes and cancellations using miles, this is from their website: "You can cancel your award ticket anytime on aa.com. We will reinstate your AAdvantage® miles up to 1 year after the ticket issue date as long as you cancel your ticket before the first flight departs. If you cancel your trip on aa.com, your miles will be reinstated automatically in many cases."

Uh no. 75k Southwest is way more valuable. Pick a bunch of flights, purchase when cheap, and cancel if you change your mind. Or if the price decreases, cancel and rebook.

I do not think you can have TWO SW cards. Read the terms. In the past , it also has to be greater than 24 months from your last SW card bonus. I'd cancel now and apply toward the end of the promotion.

Does the annual $75 credit with the Priority card expire? Or can you bank it for the following year if you don't happen to use it one year?
