Preparing for a churn after a 7 month hiatus

I am preparing for a credit card churn after a pretty long break. I had some credit card balances I was carrying and just now got all of them down to a minimum.

I pulled my Experian score and it is 770+, Equifax and Transunion are 780+

I am thinking of going for

1) The Virgin Atlantic Offer
https://www.bankofamerica.com/credit...credit-card.go

Strategy is to transfer to HHonors - I have very few HHonors points but want to build them up - do you guys think it's a good strategy to still go about building HHonors points after the major devaluation?

2) Hilton HHonors™ Card Amex

40K points

$750 spend

3) Chase Ink Plus - already a Chase Ink Bold card holder but going to try the Ink Plus

5 K in 3 months

50K Ultimate Rewards points

4) Chase Freedom

Mainly for the extra points and quarterly spending categories plus I recently opened a chase checking account so hoping that this provides me with some additional chase perks.

$500 in 3 months


I really wish I could do more cards but it's the spending limits - I don't think I can put more than about 2K per month - which is about 6K - most of which is pretty much taken up by the Chase cards.

Any other ideas of cards with really low or no spending limit to get bonuses that may be a good fit?
