ADDITIONAL INFO

Trying to get a new card with a sign on bonus because I spending more money than average in the next month with buying plane tickets and hotels for a European trip. I am self employed software developer making $100k with around $100 or less monthly expenses. I do pay quarterly tax estimates and I can pay those for a sign on bonus minimum spend, I think I can spend $20k in 3 months if I need to with taxes, trip, and potentially rent.

Would like global entry and lounge, but I know those can be expensive cards. Perks like paying for software subscriptions are also nice.

Business card would be nice to better separate out purchases, and I think they have better SUB?
