Help Me Pick a Bonus

I will be graduating college within the next month and I'm trying to get one last spending bonus before I start grad school. I have a solid, but short, credit history. My scores are in the 760-780 range, some of which is because of backdating with Amex. Despite being in school, my income should be around 35,000-37,000 for the year.

I currently have the CSP, Delta Amex, Discover It, Chase Freedom, and Amex BCE. My CSP limit is $17,000, while the others are in the 3,000-7,000 range. I realize that Chase is not likely to extend more credit to me in the near future despite the Sapphire being my primary card.

I have been looking at Barclays, Capital One, Nfcu (I am a member), and others. I would like to get a 40k bonus, and I have no problem meeting a 3k spending threshold to get there. Nfcu and Citi are the banks I would still like to get in with, so if anyone has any good suggestions for those banks I would be interested. Mostly, I just want to save up a few more miles or points for a free trip or two.

Go for Barclays US Airways, easy 40k if you're willing to pay the AF.

well if you are willing to go for two cards one ex and one tu , you could try for us airways and citi aa, since they should complement each other.

Do you want a cash bonus or a loyalty points bonus?
