Card recommendation, cashback for travel? (plane tickets and rental cars)

Post Body

I am looking for a new card or maybe two. My available credit is usually somewhere around 32-35k, and I am seeing on creditwise that the excellent range for available credit is 50k . Even with limit increases my current cards are just not going to get me above 50k. Just trying to play the credit score game.
I like cashback cards a lot, and no annual fees. Right now the only thing I'm really missing is cashback for travel specifically. I need to buy plane tickets and get a rental car maybe three times a year, sometimes more. Almost all of it is reimbursed by my company, but I would love to get maximum rewards for it.

  • Current cards:
    • Amazon Store Card. $6,000 limit. Dec 2015.
      • 5% back on Amazon purchases
    • Capital One Walmart Rewards Card. $3,900 limit. Nov 2016.
      • 2% back on Walmart in store, 5% on Walmart.com
    • PayPal Cashback World Mastercard. $12,300. Nov 2017.
      • 2% cashback on everything
    • Boring card from my credit union. $12,500 limit. 2019. Nice limit, stupid rewards.
  • FICO Score: 797 (Finally back up after buying a house in September, but there are a few recent inquiries from that whole process)
  • Oldest account: 9 years
  • Chase 5/24 status: 0/24
  • Income: $75,000 (DINK, so partners income doubles this but technically unmarried)
  • Categories:
    • Dining: partner has a card that does 3% back on restaurants
    • Groceries: groceries from Walmart, so 2% back. (Is there is a card that can beat this 2%?)
    • Gas: would like a card that can beat PayPal's 2%, but not a priority since we work from home
    • Travel: would love a card that can beat PayPal's 2%
  • Open to Business Cards: Probably not, but it depends
  • What's the purpose of your next card?: Would love cashback that gets rewards on travel.
  • Do you have any cards you've been looking at?: I've been googling around but really not sure yet
  • Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card?: Category is fine but would rather not have rotating categories.

Let me know if there is any other useful info I should include
