I'll piggyback my similar question here.
What should I open now?
Between my husband and myself, I have many of the popular useful ones.
I have a big spend coming up so I feel like rewarding myself with a big SUB.
I'm looking for great points.
What cards have great bonuses now? Spending minimums is no impediment.

here you go.

The spend requirement is 2k in 3 months.

Just saying, the $95 statement credit hasn't been coming through and when I called they can't find any mention of a statement credit in my SUB.

Update:
I called them again and they said this is an issue they know about and they are working on it but they'll put a note on my account.

The next day I got a call back from Barclays saying that I should see the credit within 24 hours.

BH credit is now in my account.

Glad it worked out for you.

But back on topic, please.

I have a big spend coming up.
a)I have most cards, so I have access to their benefits. I don't know what I should get another of (some are mine,so I could get it for my husband and vice versa). I got the Citi Premier (80K for $4K spend). Am I done for now? or is there something else worth opening?

AND/OR
b) My daughter could open a card and I would do the SUB spend for her. She only has the Freedom and the Sapphire Preferred.
Citi Premier?
other ideas?

AND, as long as I have your attention,
c) My son could also open a new card that I'll spend his minimum for.
He's got a few cards - IDK which - so what should I recommend he open?

Either the Cap1 spark elite for 250k miles(350k after the spend) or one of the mega Amex gold or plat offers.
