American Express - Delta Skymiles Platinum — 

The AmEx Delta Platinum is is my favorite credit card ever.  I charge absolutely everything on it and pay it off in full religiously.  This would not be a good card for someone who carries a balance, as the interest rate is high.  Also, the only reason to have this card is if you like to travel internationally, which I do.  The reason I say this is that the annual fee for the card is $150, and Delta is about to start charging for FF miles redemption.  If all you do is fly domestic, it means the miles aren't worth much, but if you fly first class internationally, the miles are worth over a nickel apiece, and that's more than 5% back, better than any other card.  You even get a lot of bonus miles, like 20000 for spending $50K in a year, which we always do.  You also get double miles on groceries, gas, home improvement, etc, making that a 10% return.  Also, the customer service is terrific - they have solved problems for us, got our money back when we've had trouble with a retailer, etc etc.  I can't say enough good things about this card!
