Looking for advice on next card

I am thinking about wells fargo active cash or another pnc card as I have accounts with both however  my spend has been kind of low with both so not sure how they would feel about issuing new card or cli on existing cards as I know both banks typically do a hard pull for cli.

Any thoughts ?

Wow, what a detailed profile!

 

I'd opt for the Chase products as they offer the best choices.

For a good overall cashback and higher SL, look at the lesser known: FNBO and Aspiration.

X1 Card is always a good choice if you have direct deposit.

Citibank has a great cashback: Custom Cash.

WF is good if you have a relationship for: Reflect & Active Cash.

Re: Looking for advice on next card

I was just editing my post as you replied 8+ yo bk knocks out chase and a couple others I have a propel with wells buy in the past year or so have not put much spend on it kinda sock drawered and not sure if that would affect approval and or starting limit. Aspiration. i looked at but bailed as to not  thinking i would get approved due  to bk as most fintecks like blockfi dont like bk's. fnbo prequal showed no available offers for me again i guess due to bk. x1 ?

X1 will also be a no-go if there's a presence of BK on CRs, unfortunately.

Re: Looking for advice on next card

Before applying for a new card, why not try for some soft CLI's on some of your Amex cards? 

 

They are typically soft inquiries, though that is not guaranteed.   I would try to raise those limits, if sucessful, let them report with the higher balances and then apply....I might also do a FNBO prequal or try Citi as well  (I'm not sure if they have a pre-qual).... others here might.
