Maybe a Discover card?

I got a discover card

Capital one is generally targeted towards people with limited/poor credit

Capital one is a good bank to start with. Try to get a Quicksilver for a basic 1.5% cash back, or a Savor card for dining/food benefits.

Bank of America Cash Rewards credit card if you bank with them or have accounts at Merrill. It was my first card and I still use it all the time to get 5.25% cash back on online shopping, but you can switch between other categories. No annual fee.
