Strong middle-tier Delta card. The annual companion certificate alone covers the $350 fee for any couple flying domestic. Sky Club access at member rate is also better than nothing.
Strong East Coast card. The 5,000 anniversary points alone are worth ~$65 (more than half the fee), and the 10% redemption rebate keeps the rest of your TrueBlue stash compounding.
