Here I summarized some bonuses from major credit card issuers in US. Over all there are about over $6,000 bonuses from 4 major credit card issuers. I hope this will help you to choose the best card for you. Since I’m not making money from Credit Card Companies, I do not provide the links to their application pages. If you really want to apply for a specific card, please use google to search the application page. Google is so powerful which makes the job very easy. Simply copy the name on the google search engine and it will bring you to the application page. The hot cards are high lighted as red color.
Before you apply for credit card, please read this post. You can get extra $25 for each credit card approval!

HSBC

Orchard bank platinum select master card
You can get 2% cash back on everything. They don’t offer sign-up bonus, but both cards are pretty good. You have to be prepared that they offer you tiny credit limit.

But it seems you can have one master card and one visa card. See my post.
