I've been thinking about getting an Amex since I always see those statement credit deals they have (e.g. at the Lego store). Does this one usually qualify for those? Another rewards card seems useful, but I don't know if I want to juggle 3 credit cards at this point.

Those statement credits are targeted, but many are available for this card.
I've gotten credits from Lego, Dell (have one now for $50 off $250), Walmart, various streaming services (Max, Paramount+, Showtime, Stars, Peacock, etc.), autopay of cell phone or internet bills, and so forth.
Most of the bonuses offered tend to be for travel/cruises (MGM Grand, Waldorf Astoria, Norwegian and Holland America cruise lines, etc.), more high-end consumer or luxury brands (Lulu Lemon, Kate Spade, Prada, Givenchy, Burberry, though I often see Levi's, Zappos, and Champion deals as well), and subscription services like HelloFresh and various wine vendors. The trick is to just add ALL the offers to your card and then new ones will load and you can add those as well until you find something you'll use.
Also, do not get a credit card just for rewards/credits if you weren't already going to be buying those sorts of things anyway. No reason to carry an extra line of credit so that you might get $20 off a $100 Lego purchase once per year.
This and PayPal are my favorite 3% cashback cards.
The only card that beats the Amex 3% on gas is the citi custom cash 5%, IF gas is your highest spending category. Citi keeps denying me and my 740 cs though!🤷 ♂️
This card also has no annual fee and is a great entry into Amex. You don't get the majority of perks, but some of the deals hit this card! I got $10 back on $50+ for internet payments. Paid ahead for spectrum.
To earn additional rewards on online retail purchases, the purchase must be made on a website or a digital application (an app) from a U.S. retail merchant that sells physical goods or merchandise directly to consumers. To identify eligible online retail purchases, we rely on information provided to us by the merchant. The following are not considered retail purchases: purchases made at restaurants, supermarkets, gasoline stations, or automotive dealers, as well as purchases of travel, entertainment, or other services. Payment must be made online and categorized as an internet transaction by the merchant for the purchase to be eligible. You will not receive additional rewards for purchases ordered online but paid for in store. Payments made in store using a mobile or digital wallet or a contactless payment device are not considered online purchases. You will not receive additional rewards for purchases made by phone or mail, or by using a third party "buy now pay later" installment program.
