Honestly I would take the Double Cash over the Thank you card. I had the CSP but after realizing I moved all my restaurant and travel to my Double Cash it wasn't really worth keeping the CSP and PCed it down to the CS with no annual fee. IT still have 2% on dining so might split it with my Double cash.
The double cash card is a general 2% CB card which is very good imo if you don't want to deal with the category spending
Here's a link to the Chase AARP Visa with a $100 sign-up bonus for spending $500 in the first 3 months. The sign-up bonus increases the value of this card, at least for the first year:

I don't have the card myself, but I would consider it for sure (I'm mid-30s) if I didn't already have the US Bank Cash + card, which I've been using for dining (5% fast food/2% restaurants) and 5% back on cell phones. Speaking of which, here's a link to the the Cash + card with a $100 sign-up bonus for $500 of spend within first 3 months:

With a US Bank credit card, you are eligible for their Gold Checking account, which has no fees or minimums. Currently, they're running a promotion where if you open an account and either make two bill pays or have at least two direct deposits (totaling $500) within 60 days you get $125. Just think, if you open the Cash + you can get the sign-up bonus for that and simultaneously open a no fee checking account with at least $25 and do two electronic bill pays within two months (easy), you would then end up with $225 in cash bonuses when all is said and done. Of course, this is contingent on not already having a US Bank checking account and the promotion (called Power Up) ends August 10, so you'd want to apply for the credit card and then open the checking account soon:
ETA: The Cash + still offers a $25 bonus when you redeem your first $100 in rewards, which means that you're looking at $250 in total bonuses if you open both the credit card and checking account!
