Best current credit card sign up offer + cashback % (or points that can be turned to gift card)

I need to spend quite a bit of $thousands in the next few months, mostly on "general services/stores" that don't typically fall into categories of special cashback %

So I am looking to sign up for a new credit card that would give maximum total for:
  • sign up bonus + additional bonus $ (gcr, etc)
  • FYF - or high bonus % such that the fee for 1 year is worth it
  • Cashback % (or points that can be turned to GC is fine too) - ultimately higher % the better
Income threshold / credit rating shouldnt be an issue. Recommendations?

OP hasn't even mentioned which store(s) he/she intends on making these purchases. Many retailers don't accept amex

Last year, we had to spend $7.5K on the 2 AC units, we applied for 2 Amex SCP cards. We got charged 1.5% more for paying Amex but got back 10%, so that was worth it
