Signup bonus cards - what is best?

Thinking about my future app spree. 

 

Looking for cards like the CSP in terms of a signup bonus. It gives me $400 cash or $500 in travel. Something similar because it will replace the CSP 

 

Anything similar out there?

I don't have discover or citi.

There's the Barclay Arrival + 40,000 sign up bonus too.

Venture.... Prestige...Premiere

Before you app think...
Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

Do you think citi will waive the af on the prestige? What does the prestige get on dining and travel?

Oh sweet.

Can these points be redeemed for checks/direct deposit/statement credit?

And are they valued at 1 point = 1 cent?
I go to the movies a lot so that's neat
