After a few Amex offer hits, it definitely becomes a net positive. I have 29 days to decide, so I will likely wait until sometime in July to pickup the next Uber credit.

Do I need to push harder? He was a really hardcore sales type. Even 15k points would be great.
Claim your travel patterns are changing and you benefit utilization will go way down, which is why you're thinking about canceling.
