For cash back, I prefer a big ol' SUB and cash out. A $1K bonus on $5K spend is 20 points per dollar. I have plenty of cards, but use them only when not working on a SUB.

IMO, the better question is, why is one paying a high annual fee for a travel credit card if they're not using their points for travel? Downgrade to a credit card without an annual fee

This is a pretty bad use of points, you should be saving these for travel or transferring to other portals, would get a lot more bang for buck.

Be sure to include the annual fee, CSP = -$23.75/quarter or CSR = -$137.50/quarter
Otherwise, sounds like you'd be better off with Robinhood 3% card and the Citi Double Cash
