The default offer now is straight 1% on everything (and that in TYP) so unless you can get the 5%, this isn't an attractive card (Cap One Journey is better for example).
Not sure about "avoid Cap One and Discover at all costs" The Cap One rewards really aren't all that poor for those wanting cash back
