Uber annual credit $200
paypal 6 month credit $180
hertz
delta

if you don’t (or can’t) use the equinox membership it comes down to how much you value hertz and delta in my view.
Yes, we don't have an Equinox anywhere near us. I would consider keeping it as you say.
I love the Hertz pickup/drop off service, I'll miss that. With Hertz bankrupt, I'm wondering how long that will last anyway.
We don't have Delta in our market but I'm a lifetime AA Platinum with 3+ million miles. So Delta status doesn't really help either. Wish we had the Delta option as they are a great airline. AA devaluated Platinum by inserting Platinum Pro in between Platinum and Executive Platinum which was a blow.
How do you get the $2,000 travel credit? I'd keep the card another year if this was the case, as it would make the annual fee $3k and not $5k.
