I highly recommend that you read through the "getting started" parts of a couple of websites. Try these ones:
http://millionmilesecrets.com
http://thepointsguy.com
There are other sites but these seem pretty good. Note that neither my wife nor I fly very much other than when we turn in miles, so we don't build miles using air travel. We just work hard to make sure that most of the dollars we spend anyway get channelled through the rewards cards.

That goes without saying but I'm glad you said it. Any rewards card is completely worthless if you don't pay it off every month.
