If this is your first card with them, choose your second or third pick as it will grow slow. The one you really want should be your 2nd as that will be the big approval.
It would be my first card
I can understand the growing slow part - I would like to have the more rewards and flag down the road however not sure If I should even have that as my first card so I may just do like cash rewards - but again I feel that doing the more rewards would be a better benefit over the long run. What are your thoughts on this method
I think you should just apply for the card which you would most like to have. If you find that they are not adequately increasing your limits later on, you can always get a second card, and then easily transfer some or all of the limit to the first card.
