No credit card required
Browse credit cards from a variety of issuers to see if there's a better card for you.
Off the top of my head:
BoA BBR
Barclay Arrival+
AMEX Simply Cash Plus
Everything else of that genre I either PC'd or closed.

I have one: Capital One No Hassle Rewards VISA Platinum. I think it was product changed once. I've had the account since 1995 and I think it is seventeen years older than my second oldest credit card, otherwise I would have closed it years ago. Instead, I pinched its credit limit down to $500 (Capital One customer service representatives say the lowest I can set it at is $300) and I think of it as an ugly little thing with a tiny heart of gold.
Just one the grandfathered Savor.
Hyatt $75. Chase can spam me all they want to upgrade but I'll never budge.
My Freedom Card was auto converted from the Amtrak Card back when Chase offered it.
I only have one:
SPG/Bonvoy (Amex) — the base version ($95/year).
I even still have the purple card.
I also have this weird Capital One Platinum Card that appears as both Platinum and QuickSilver MasterCard, which has the same rewards as the current QuickSilver, which is a Visa.
Amex Classic Green with $55 AF.
Barclay Rewards M/C--Simply Cash + Business--SPG AMEX Business--Venture (2) @ $59 AF--Chase Hyatt @ $75 AF--Sears M/C--USAA Platinum Cash Rewards Visa.
I have BofA BBR, FNBO Travelite, Ritz-Carlton, Chase Marriott Biz, and Amex BGR ($175 AF version) open.
Others I've had somewhat recently but closed or upgraded: Barclays Ring, $75 Hyatt, old Amex Blue for Business, Amex SPG Personal, Amex SimplyCash Plus
