Connor's Recomendaiton
I would advice getting involved with muliple of these programs. Priotizing: Chase, BILT, and Amex. Capital One and Citi can be good supplemental programs.
In general bank point earning programs are stronger than specfic company reward programs due the flexibility, no point expiration and higher earning rates.
3 programs I particarlly like however are Hyatt for hotels, American for interational travel and Southwest for its companion pass
