Costco beats the crap out of Sams Club IMO.
Which doesn't work at Costco.
As to the rest, you can get more value with point cards than cashback cards, assuming you travel at all.
http://www.costco.com/join-costco.html
Costco's costs to accept credit cards as part of its deal with Amex was about 0.6 percent of every purchase, people familiar with the arrangements say, which was pretty cheap for any retailer, but Chenault offered to cut them further.
I'd suggest you consider the Chase ecosystem, assuming you travel at all...
If you do then the UR points those cards give you beat the pants off any cashback cards.
for non-category spending there's the chase freedom unlimited which is 1.5x on anything (and since it's easy to get more than 2 cents a point for UR on travel that means you're getting MORE then 3% in 'cash" value for even non-category spend)
The regular chase freedom gives you 5x points on a different quarterly category (Gas, groceries, etc)... which is over 10% 'cash back' if you redeem the UR correctly.
The chase ink cash gives you 5x points on phone, internet, cable, and office supply stores (which sell gift cards to many other stores) plus 2x points on gas and restaurants... which are over 10% and 4% CB in value with good redemptions
Then to tie it all up the Chase Sapphire Preferred gives you 2x (over 4% CB value) on car rentals, tolls, parking, trains, hotels, taxis, etc... plus a bunch of other travel benefits (primary rental car insurance for free, etc)
and with the signup bonuses you can get yourself around 150k UR for about $95 out of pocket (for the ink you start with the "plus" version then downgrade to the free one after you get the bonus)

You've overwhelmed me with options and are a true slickdealer!!
So do you have the ink, preferred and Sapphire? If you could suggest one, which would it be? We probably spend $5k-$7K a month on our primary card. Nothing special in our spend profile.
Have a relatively short commute to work, spend about $200-$300 in groceries a week, have ATT wireless, directv, and comcast for internet ($250/month) and then typically take one blowout vacation to Hawaii a year (which is where the SPG card helps) and a couple of shorter weekend trips.
Thanks again for your help!!

You can transfer between freedom and sapphire at no cost.
I dont have Sapphire either, and that is why need to pay $$ when i book travel on Chase UR.
Is there another credit card without an annual fee that offers higher than 3% cash back on restaurants?
With this being managed by Citi, do others also think that we can generate virtual credit card numbers for this card?

Sams club card is better Imo. 5% gas, 3% restaurants and travel, 1% everything else. If you spend a lot in club the 2% at Costco is a big bonus though.
I also see a pre-approved blue cash card offer. Few months back I had a delta card offer, but since I rarely fly Delta from PHX, I didnt take that. The blue cash isnt a very enticing card to have really compared to this Citi Visa if you consider groceries and gas!
