Chase seems to always offer $200 bonus for spending $500 in the first 90 days on a few of their $0 annual fee cards and I think that should be your baseline.

Think of it as 1% cash back, you can get that any day any where so it's not really a great deal. Anything giving you less without another valuable benefit is not worth your time.

But don't cancel credit cards! You want to open several good accounts and keep them open in the long run to build credit. The Chase Freedom Flex for e.g. is pretty good, you get a few months out of the year you can earn 5% cash back on gas, groceries, paypal (so basically 80% of online shopping), etc.

What does good year give you? 1% rewards towards your next purchase of good year tires? But I like Michelin, they make the best summer tires.
