What's the purpose of your next card? Cashback

Do you have any cards you've been looking at?: Paypal 3% Cashback MC, possibly RH Gold

Are you OK with category spending or do you want a general spending card?: Preferably general spending, but am familiar and comfortable with category spending if better

Basically what I have in the title. I have a couple of big PP invoices coming up in the next month or two and wanted to see if anyone has anything better than 3% back from PayPal's MC. I am also a pretty big (relative) Paypal transaction spender. I heard some things about category spending 5% by buying gift cards but I'm not sure how available or possible that much in PP gift cards are. I did consider Robinhood Gold, but I don't think I'll get off wait-list in time for the invoices due if I joined today. Please share with me the collective subreddit wisdom! Thanks!

Thoughts on engine noise? Normal, lifter tick, or worse?

Do the MZR DISI engines normally sound "agricultural"? I had a same era MZR 2.3L in a Mazda6 and I don't remember them sounding like this.
