Which card to get? rewards/travel or intro APR? BoA TravelRewards?

I have been thinking of getting another card as a "just in case" card from another lendor. Longer term I like high limits and good rewards.

 

Three scores currently at: 758, 773, 785

 

Current cards/limits are:

 

Chase Freedom: $25k

Chase Sapphire Preferred: $26k

Bank of America Cash rewards: $25k

American Express Blue Sky: $25k

 

No baddies, no other loans except a mortgage.

 

Here is what I would, but nothing is a requirement:

 

EMV chip

No forex fees

intro APR rate at 0%

Rewards (cash, travel)

 

The Blue Sky rewards are weak but I would always like to keep an Amex.

 

Chase has the best rewards but I would like cards from a different lendor to spread out my exposure.

 

I keep the BoA card since it is my oldest account and also since the BT offers are consistent, excellent, and the direct deposit limit is right up to the full $25k.

 

Cards I like:

 

BoA Travel Rewards. Does anyone have both or know if the BT and direct deposit offers are identical to the Cash rewards? This is the only reason I keep the BoA card now.

 

Citi Simplicity -just for BT and 18 months no interest, but then would likely change to a ThankYou Premier (is this possible?)

 

I was actually just approved for the Discover IT.  If the Discover limit is too low I'll likely just app for another card.

 

Any other suggestions welcome!

First off welcome to the forums! And wow those cards with those limits are great. You pretty much have the best reward cards already, but to add to the mix how about the Cap One Venture rewards. The 2:1 and sign up bonus is nice. Or PenFed has a good travel rewards card.
