Why not Citi Double Cash?

$150k-200k spending means $3k-4k in cash back.

What your brother needs to do is product change.

Call the issuer and see if he can switch to another card. If yes, then there is no need to cancel the card.

To your brother, a card with long history surpass the need of long-term benefit.
