Having gone through a dozen Amex cards over the past years, only two worth keeping in very specific situations if you have the superior CSR
-Amex Platinum: only worth it if you highly value Centution lounge or Delta lounge access
-Blue Cash Preferred: worth it if you have significant spend at grocery stores (6% back there)

Interested in hearing other opinions as well :)
