Simple solution: get another GM/Ford Credit card in another name (ie a 
spouse as primary holder). Those two are the only CCs left which give 5% 
rebate. All the airline FF cards are 1-2% and have many strings. I 
consider the Quicken or Smith Barney CC much better. With them (both 
handled by Travelers Group) you pay $25-50 for a Airline membership miles 
program which gives you the following:
for every $6000 spent, $100 certificate good for any airline ticket
for four such certificates, a free airline tix
and the best part, you can get FF miles on those tickets!
