Looking for an entertainment card...

I will be in the garden for the next 6 months or so. But in the mean time I am starting to research a potential card that fits my spending habits. Looking for a CC to maximize restaurants, bars and fast food to earn more rewards. Any suggestions other than Citi- burned them horribly a couple years back and the blacklist is mutual... At 25 percent utilization for another three months then down to blow ten percent. EX 652, TU 640 and Eq 672- currently baddies two charge offs from 2013 and a 90 day late from 2013. Current line up:
Amex BCE 1000:grocery and as for 3 and 2 percent
Chase freedom 2500:for 5 percent categories
Barclay Rewards 3500: for utilities 2 percent cash back
Bofa BBR 2000- large purchases for the 120 in statement credits
Cap one QS 3500: daily for now at 1.5 percent if not using a category card
US Bank Cash Rewards- well, for nothing since its one percent and my lowest credit line 800

You may come out better with a straight standard 2% card across the board vs 3% for this and 1% for that type card 

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

I just quickly looked up the Marvel card.. other than the design I don't get the big fuss about this card? The rewards don't seem like they're all that great?

Re: Looking for an entertainment card...

If those are current scores in signature going to have a bit of a trouble getting the Marvel card most likely...  Appears you have some decent cards with all things considered.  Best bet is to get your util down to < 10% and then go from there as that and time will give you a score boost.. Just my 2 cents.  Otherwords garden for a bit while paying down debt.  Then consider adding another card.. Just my 2 cents
