Discover has a couple good cards to , I have 2 different ones in one year I got checks totaling well over 800 dollars from the points that they turn into cash , I called to see how the flight miles worked on one of them and she said or “we can just send u a check , right now you have 542.00 dollars” I said .. send the check lol , . I use it for everything, and pay off the balance each month . Nearly a 1000 in one year of free money .
I lived abroad from 2017-2020 and didn't use CC, several close my accounts. When I returned to the USA and applied, I got the cards that canceled welcome bonuses again! Silly Banks, Trix are for Kids.
You can also avail of checking account welcome bonuses, but be careful, they make it hard for seniors by giving you a tight window on the required direct deposits. They will require 2 at those banks and SS is slow, payroll direct deposits change to the new bank faster. They also will let you re-open new accounts after xxx amount of time goes by and get those bonuses again.
