Hey y'all,
Having just gotten my AMEX BCE a few weeks ago, I decided I really am set in terms of credit cards for now. I don't plan on applying for another one of my goal cards anytime soon. Having said that, I want to take advantage of this time and go ahead and do a so called "app spree" while I can, preferably before any of my new cards report and effectively lower my AAoA.
What I am hoping to find is a few cards that offer instant sign up bonuses. For example, I just applied for (and was approved for) an Amazon CC, which immediately gave me a $30 credit just for signing up. I promptly used the $30 and already have a container of whey protein on its way from Amazon
Ended up costing me just about $2 to cover part of the shipping. Anyways, what I am looking for is offers that give instant sign up bonuses where I don't have to spend a certain amount (or anything, really) in the first 3 months.
Currently, I know that the next three months, I will need to put almost everything on my AMEX BCE to reach the 3 month spending requirement to receive my bonus, and I don't spend enough to be able to cover more than one cards 3 month spending requirements (this is the reason I am holding off on signing up for the Chase Freedom or the Citi Thank You for the time being).
Does anyone know anymore cards with instant sign up bonuses like the Amazon offers?

This is a little obscure, but the BofA Alaska Airlines Visa gives 25,000 upon approval. Of course if you don't fly Alaska, this is not super helpful (although they do have many airline partners if you're the traveling type).
