Credit Card Recommendations to Replace Amex Platinum

I have new job where I don't travel and where I have much less time for personal travel than before. My biggest expense is food. I travel internationally for vacation twice a year usually business or first class and then domestically maybe 5 or 6 times a year mostly coach. I am not loyal to any airline or hotel chain. I fly Alaska the most domestically followed by United. I would like to get a card with decent travel perks (lounge access at SFO and SEA would be nice) that is good at earning easy to use miles. I just dumped the Amex Platinum because I don't think I can use the benefits enough to justify the annual fee anymore. In the past I could justify the fee with the Fine Hotels and Resorts resort credits but now I am not sure. I never was able to use the $200 airline credit.

My current wallet is the following cards:
Amex Gold (4x points on US dining and supermarkets...just downgraded from Platinum)
Uber Visa (4% on dining)
Fidelity Investment Rewards Visa (2% cash back on everything)

If anyone has recommendations please let me know. I was thinking of going with the Chase Sapphire Reserve card. I unfortunately wont get the sign up bonus on that one.
