Apply for 2 AE cards?
I have an Optima now with no annual fee. Considering buying a good amount of i Bond before end of year. Should I bother getting Starwood AE card (waive annual fee first year)? Or should I just use Discover card and get cash back instead?

The real question is whether you value the Starpoints more than the amount you get from Discover. I've got a Discover, but usually use my SPG Amex, but it really is a personal decision.
