So I used to use the USBank 5% card for restaurants and hotels. However, it seems, once you spend 2000.00 for EITHER 5% category, your cash back for the 5% categories goes down to 1%. Since I just had a big party at a hotel which was over 2k, the card is now earning 1% until 1/1/2014. Is there a better cash back restaurant card to use which earns 3% or higher? I have the Citi Forward, however, I really am not crazy about Thank You Points. Chase hates me, and they won't tell me why, so I cannot go for a Chase card right now.

Open for ideas.
