You should check your credit reports and see if those store cards show up or not. It makes a big deal when you're considering your next card (s). If you still are below 5/24, the CIP (business card) has an 80k UR bonus, while the CSP has a 50k UR bonus. When combining these with the CSR, you end up with quite good value towards travel. They're still great if you want to convert to cash, as $500 for a signup bonus is hard to beat.
It depends what your goal for new cards is. Is it cash? Is it specific travel, like to Hawaii? Are you just trying to rack up some rewards for future travel whenever you decide you want to go somewhere? Some of the best signup bonuses are going to have really great value, or possibly very little value to you depending on this.
Barclays Arrival+ has a 50k ($500) signup bonus that's good for travel. I churn the Arrival+ every year to year and a half. I just got the WF World Propel for 40k ($400 cash) + $100 in travel credits, as I have plenty of airline miles, and hotel points for the near future.
