Collecting miles to use for Hawaii - Japan award tickets

I was hoping to get your comments on collecting miles to use for award tickets between Hawaii and Japan.
I would like to hear about your favorite company, how you collect miles, etc. I myself am currently collecting miles with Delta Air Lines Amex Gold, but I am considering doing so after I have used up all my current miles on award tickets.
The reasons for this are
- Delta's Amex Gold annual fee will be $ 100 => $ 150 （ $10,000 spend bonus will increase to $ 100 => $ 200 and new hotel credit $ 100, which is not bad in general ）.
- I plan to use my BILT MasterCard to pay rent and accumulate points, but the airlines I can transfer points to are Hawaiian, United, and American Airline in the US.
- My destination is Nagoya, so I will be flying Delta to Haneda ＞ Shinkansen to Nagoya is a bit inconvenient in terms of time ・ and money. On the other hand, it is possible to fly to Nagoya with JAL/Hawaiian.

Based on the above 3 points, I think that if I were to migrate, it would be to Hawaiian ～ ？.
On the other hand, I may continue to use Delta, $ consider the 200 bonus as bullet train fare, or use BILT points as Hawaiian miles for Interisland flights.

With my current Delta card, I have been earning 12,000 - 15,000 miles per year for the last few years.
I think ？ the miles I get from purchases are roughly the same if I use the Hawaiian card as my main card.

Recent flights are
- Summer 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL
- Winter 2022 ： Purchased direct Nagoya flight on JAL, miles earned on Hawaiian
- Summer 2023 ： On JAL Purchased direct flight to Nagoya with JAL, mileage credited to Hawaiian
- Winter 2023 ： Awarded flight to Haneda with Delta
So, twice a year, I will return home by myself.
Seat is normal economy.

Note that the mileage requirement for a Delta Honolulu Haneda award ticket is roughly 94,000 - 104,0000 miles in Main Cabin economy.
The credit card award gives you 15% off the required miles, so it's actually 80,000 - 88,000 miles.

Of course, I understand that your destination, class of service, and usual mileage accrual are not the same, but
I would be happy to hear your opinions.

I used to enjoy traveling with miles as a UNITED miles member, but in the last couple of decades, because it costs a lot of miles and there are restrictions on the airlines you can use, I have a card that comes with CAPITAL ONE travel credit, and each time I take a ticket on an airline of my choice and I get cash back in miles.

Other credit cards probably have a similar system ？ but....　I only earn miles on each airline, but I don't have a credit function on them.

Thanks for the information.
I knew the name of Capital One, but did not know about the additional features.
It is an advantage to be able to buy a ticket on an airline that suits you each time.

I have frequent flyer accounts with United, JAL, ANA, Hawaiian, and Delta, but
all but Hawaiian and Delta are dormant. It is not easy to master the mileage way.

I also use Chase Sapphire Reserve, not with a specific one.
It is even considered the best card for people who travel a lot.
You can accumulate points and book with various airlines.
Also, you can use airport lounges with priority pass.
I recommend it. I recommend it,

I have never heard of Chase Sapphire Reserve.
The annual fee is high, but if you use the benefits well, it seems to pay for itself.
It is also good that you can make reservations without being tied to a single airline.
As expected, various credit card companies have come up with various services.
If I start looking into it, I will be addicted to it.
