Have a $15k spend coming up and want to open a new card to maximize returns instead of just paying cash.
Any recommendations on cards with good sign up bonuses? I already have the Amex Plat and CSP.

I would do this
1. Chase boundless card with 5 night certs at 50K. (5K spend)
2. Amex Gold 90K points + 20% back on restaurants up to $250 (5K spend)
3. JetBlue 80K or AA 50K or United 70K (3-5K spend)

That ways you have 1. Hotels, flight and flexible currency all maximized for a future trip.

Edit: a lot depends on your 5/24 status but hope you get the idea to spend on multiple than on one as 15K is decent spend amount.
