Yeah Barclay's already rejected me for the SM and ring card and I do have a lot of inq's on my reports so wouldn't touch those for a while. I have the BCE but I don't like how it takes 2 months to get the Cash back basically so I have stopped using it with all the new cards I have. Guess my best option is put it on my Amex Everyday card and get the 20 transactions ?

I use my Wells Fargo Propel.  It includes cellphone protection up to $600 for $25 deductible, so I waive coverage from the cellphone company.

Not a CC but if you're with sprint and have a CU acct they wilo knock off 10% on your monthly bill. You do not need to use the CU to pay the bill either. The catch is you need to submit a form and are locked in for two years. Good deal if your are switching carriers/renewing/upgrading. 

NFCU Cash Rewards | CSP | Freedom Unlimited | WalMart MC | Target Red MC | Citi Costco | AMEX BCE

Also if you have a university or college email, Sprint, Verizon, and AT&T will knock off 10-15% off of your monthly bill!
