I get National Emerald Executive which I use on business travel as many of my clients only reimburse for mid-size or full-size. I only spend on airfare, but I transfer the points to BA at +40% about once a year and use them on AA short-haul F at 10-14 days out. The Uber credit is useful now that the rental car industry has gone insane price wise.

Taking away the $200 airline credit and also raising the fee by $150... that will be challenging. Making a $200 airline credit be a $20/month streaming credit would not be great given that I spend $6 most months today. But should this come to pass, a lot of my decision will depend on what DL does with it's pricing out of the RDU focus city, because right now they are not particularly competitive. I can use $600 to buy an E+ pass on United for 20-30 flights a year, and focus on renewing my BA Silver status for flying BA/AA/and by then AS for another 30-40.
