The Capital One Savor is highly regarded as a premier no-annual-fee card for dining, groceries, and entertainment.

Its value is significantly enhanced when paired with a Venture X card, allowing users to convert cash back into travel miles.
Pros
- 3% cash back on dining, groceries, and entertainment (including movie theaters).
- No annual fee, making it easy to break even compared to premium cards.
- No foreign transaction fees, suitable for international travel.
- Seamless integration with the Venture X to convert cash back into miles.
Cons
- Does not offer competitive rewards for gas station purchases.
- Capital One's approval algorithm can be restrictive for 'experienced' users with many existing cards.

I would check to see if you are pre approved for a savor or a chase freedom card
These are my favorite cards: Chase Freedom Unlimited, Discover IT Cash Back, AMEX BCE, Capital One Savor, and the Chase Freedom Flex
For the very niche scenarios where price drop protection could be relevant, I use the Savor.
Savor is definitely underrated for the food categories
If the answer is the former (free flights and many more cheap flights) then Capital One Savor is an excellent choice.

I got the aaa daily advantage just for the fact it's so versatile and I can use it at walmart/target/costco as well.
If 5 is too much, you can do the AAA Daily Advantage in place of the CCC and everything else besides the Double Cash and Strata Premier. 5% groceries and 3% wholesale clubs up to a decently generous limit.
AAA daily advantage and Elan Max/USBank Cash+ are good to cover them. I get about $40-50 monthly back from it.
i use walmart too and get 5% using AAA daily advantage linked via paypal for grocery pickup.
AAA daily advantage 5% walmart and walmart.com when linked via paypal. 3% at costco, has limits too, up to 500 cash back in combined rewards per year.
