I do it regularly, in fact I opened a new card expressly for buying xmas presents, knowing I’d spend $1k easy, might as well get $200 back.
Then I put the card in a drawer and forget about it and go back to using my preferred card.
The only downside is your credit score will drop a bit due to the credit pull, but that’ll go back up after a few months.
The key here is to pay it off in full otherwise interest is eating into the bonus.

Rat Race is essentially a remake of it, and I think also pretty damn funny

fuck that noise. They didn’t make that money in a vacuum, no matter what bootstraps bullshit they espouse. They had the benefit of living in a society, with all the infrastructure, support, and benefits that entails. They have an obligation to give back to that society.

Or not read anything of Card's ever again.

Reply to TIFU by crashing my car into a pole by Porbale
Your license isn't getting suspended, calm down, this is going to cost you money.
You might pay a fine. You or your insurance is definitely paying for that pole, and if you do make a claim with your insurance, your premiums are likely going up.
