I am looking to get one US bank card as their 3 cards I know offers million dollar travel accident insurance
REI Sig no AF
CASH+ Sig no AF
Club Carlton Sig $85
my highest Travel accident insurance cards only offers upto 250k
I am only looking to use this card for plane ticket purchasing
If I can get extra points on CASH+ it would definately be my first choice
No. Cash+ does not have rotating categories. One or two categories change sometimes from quarter to quarter, but they don't rotate across the same categories like the Discover It and Chase Freedom. The Cash+ does not have a 5% category for airline tickets either.
Chart of Jan 2015 5 and 2 percent options:

Right, air fare was one of the three categories to go in the first nerfing (along with bill pay and home improvements)
Personally, I would never make amount of insurance a key factor in choosing a card, as rewards are far more likely to be used, but I can see worst-case planners wanting this.
Not sure about insurance but Penfed has a pseudo 5% airfare card
US Bank also has the Travel Rewards cards, one a VISA Sig, and an AMEX version. Those have Airfare as a 2% category if it is your largest spend in the month, among the categories of airfare, gas, or groceries.
Whether that 2% actually works out to a useful amount back, I have my doubts, I do have the VISA Sig version of the TR card. The points are best used for future travel costs, if I read the program correctly. I, personally, cannot see myself spending enough on this TR card to earn enough points to actually use them, and the points seem to be in a walled garden that does not play with other programs, so it is on my list of cards to cancel at some point.
