ONLY $5000 limited responsibility for the loss or damage to the rental vehicle?!

My Visa and MC from either Citi or Chase has $50,000.

Also since we only carry liability insurance on our car policy, the CC policy becomes Primary by default. They are always Primary internationally anyway.

Primary Liability protection refers to what? 3rd party injury? Your own car insurance would have covered that already.

The only slight edge I see is the possible discount rates, but the saving of that would be quite minimal when comparing on other discount codes floating around on internet - I would say at best an additional 5%.
