Searching for Next Credit Card for Upcoming Travel

Hi all,

I am about to drop ~$5k on hotels for my time in Germany this September. I know many cards have incentives for big expenses in the first month/ 3 months, does anyone have recommendations for someone who travels frequently. I also am looking to close a business EOY so a business card is not off the table, I already have an LLC filed, though am hesitant to do this as it is not a business trip.
