My Credit Card Strategy for 2015

I get almost all my miles from credit cards.

I rarely fly a paid flight on an airline that offers miles (and when I do, it's usually not paid by me)
I don't do much online shopping through airline portals
My dining program earnings are minimal

For me, it starts and ends with sign up bonuses and category bonuses on credit cards.
