I want (need?) to add one more card to my portfolio of cash-back cards and am torn between Discover It and US Bank Cash+.
My current rewards cards are:
American Express Blue Cash Preferred
Chase Freedom
PayPal Mastercard
I only use the BCP and Freedom since the rewards program on the PayPal card stinks. I spend a lot on fast food and restaurants, so the US Bank Cash+ card could work well for me as those are two potential 5% categories that aren't handled by the BCP and Freedom. Any compelling reason to go with It over the Cash+?
EDIT: Well now I see that the Cash+ can only be applied for in a US Bank branch, and there are none of those around here. Discover It wins, I guess.
Discover 5% CB based on each quarter.
Jan for movies and restaurant.
I love US bank with 5% cash back up to your choice but too bad im not qualify for it.
Currently own Discover and its my number 1 spending card.
What about Citi Forward?
5% on restaurants, fast food, bookstores, movie theaters, and Amazon.
5% can only be used to pay student loans or mortgages though. Gift cards and other types of rewards will only net you approximately 3.75% (I haven't bothered to do the exact math).

And Citi Forward is uncapped on those categories, as compared to Discover. By using another Citi card, you can increase all TYP to 1:1, but not necessary if you are doing loans/mortgages/some gift cards
Cash Plus is better because it's 6.25% with bonus, but against that you would need to use two 5% (one for Fast Food, one for restaurants) and it's moot because, as you say, you now need to apply in branch.

@I would lean towards the Discover It. Looking @ your portfolio you do not carry a cash back CC which does not offer a no FTF, never know when that may come in handy! Especially now that Discover is excepted more in foreign countries via the DinersClub network.
