Unfortunately, FHR/THC isn't that valuable in the locations I value most vs. alternatives (I typically use the IHG Ambassador weekend night certificate at the one FHR hotel I frequent, and also have access to non-public rates that are almost 50% off for any subsequent stays...).
I could still make it work, but it would take more effort than I'd like and some luck.

I agree, this is looking like a massive win.
$200 Hotel FHR/THC credit
$179 Clear Credit (really worth more like $109 or $119 depending on what discount you get)
$240 Digital Entertainment Credit
$300 Equinox Credit ($25/month)
From multiple rumors, the various snippets from AX website, and that YouTube video, we still have:
$200 Uber credit
$100 Saks
$200 Airline credit
Even without using the airline credit AT ALL, completely ignoring the Equinox "credit", that is $849 in easily usable credits (for me, at least), and if I can still use some of that airline credit with the various workarounds that still work - could be as much as $1049 in credits for a card that costs $695? Ridiculous (in a good way). Not to mention lounge access, the great return protection / purchase protection insurance, and emergency medical evacuation insurance, etc.

I’d pay 95$ for a membership to the Amex Global Lounge Collection + SkyClubs, but I guess YMMV
