That's the dilemma I have. I redid my spending when the SPG Amex disappeared and have got all my companies, my kid's companies and all personal spend into UR to get Hyatt points.

Now what? And I'm not us based so I find harder to get airline redemptions that make any sense. Marriott cards junk.
Alaska Summit is very good if you're not US based, but if you don't want to redeem the miles maybe it's not valuable.
Bilt Palladium is good if you're willing to go through the hoops but if you don't have a rent/mortgage in the US it is harder to maximize
Maybe a general 2x card with no FTF is good enough
