US Bank Altitude Reserve. It has a net $75 annual fee ($400-$325), but, 
for me, the benefits outweigh that $75.

1. 3% cash back on electronic wallet purchases (break even versus a 2% 
card is $7500 per year). Or 4.5% if you purchase travel with the card.[I 
have used this multiple times]

2. Primary rental car insurance, not secondary.[I have used this 
multiple times]

3. Global Entry reimbursement (equivalent to $25 per year)[I have used this]

4. Priority Pass membership (8x per year) [I have used this multiple times]

5. One year extended warranty coverage (many cards have dropped this 
feature, including the Costco Citibank Visa)

6. $500 sign-up bonus [I have used this and it covers nearly seven years 
of the $75 net annual fee]

Plus some stuff that is pretty worthless, or that I'd be unlikely to 
ever use, or hopefully not ever need to use:

7. 90 day theft and loss coverage

8. Identity theft coverage

9. Emergency evacuation coverage

10. Repatriation of remains

11. Lost luggage reimbursement

12. Trip delay reimbursement

13. Emergency travel services

14. Trip cancellation coverage

15. Travel accident insurance
