Thinking of re-vamping my cc strategy. Currently have the Amex Plat and the Delta Amex Plat (mainly just for the companion pass each year which cancels out the AF) but because of the increase in Amex Plat’s AF I’m thinking of downgrading to Amex Gold, then getting Delta Reserve card for Skyclub access to replace my Delta Plat card. Thoughts on this or is there something I’m not thinking of? Lounge access and Amex’s transfer partners are the two main priorities to me

Lyft driver delayed picking me up 30 min, resulting in me canceling my ride and asking hotel to call me a “yellow taxi” to get to the airport because it was 5am and all ubers/lyfts were 15 min. Specifically said yellow. Hotel calls me a private lux SUV and the driver got out of the car to handshake the man who called and said hi (honestly money couldve been passed). I then get hit with a $180 ride. Marriott website says taxi should be $65. Should I complain or let it go?
