The hotel credit only works on hotels in the Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR) and The Hotel Collection programs.
The first one you can do a single night stay if you wish, the second program requires a minimum 2 night stay. You'll get $200 total credited back with either.
Both programs also give you additional perks for booking through them including generally another $100 property credit (usable for food or any other amenities like spas or whatever they might offer).
We used it recently at an excellent 5-star hotel in Charleston that I'd never had paid full price for, but got to enjoy the stay (incl. some food and drinks) for the out of pocket cost of a cheap chain hotel.
The airline credit can be used for many things other than extra fees. Including straight up airline credit usable on ticket bookings (though only with certain airlines-- you can look around on flyertalk for details about which things work for which airline).
I agree neither is as flexible as the Chase (or Prestige, or US Bank Reserve) travel credits... but they're certainly things you can get pretty decent value out of.
There's also the $200 Uber credit- this is very easy to use (for both uber and uber eats)
The $240 digital entertainment credit (which recent got a lot easier to use as it covers more services)
A $100 Saks credit (also easy to use, $50 per calendar half-year, we usually grab a couple of Reidel glasses or something)
A $100 GE/Precheck credit- though honestly I've had like 10 cards with that so meh...
A $179 CLEAR credit- which you can stack with the United discount to include a family member-- it's not amazing, but it's a nice to have for free
And a $300 equinox credit which is pretty garbage unless you just happen to already be using that specific, very expensive, gym.
Which is still pretty poor compared to what you can get with airline point transfers, but if you never travel it's the best option.
Might try to get in on this if I can get the 150k offer to show up with the same $6k/6mo.

Can you cash out Amex points straight to cash via a check or direct deposit?
I don't use my Amex Gold for groceries as I consider the 3 cents per dollar on the free Blue Cash more valuable to me. I use my AMEX Gold credit for Uber Eats which I pick up. For those that don't know, ordering with Uber Eats is a much more limited menu and their menu prices are marked up. You are not eligible for special deals offered to direct order customers.
Why do I even keep my Gold? Great insurance protection, up to $ 10,000 per claim on damage or loss within 90 days. I use it exclusively for online purchases, other than my Amazon purchases. I also use the $ 10 month dining credit.
But yeah, there's many other ways to use them
try a different browser (edge/chrome) in Private/incognito mode; you might get lucky. In my case it went from 100K to 125K.

They'll disappear (you might have like 60 or 90 days to use em, can't recall).
Which means if you don't intend to use them up by then sometime before your year is up you'll want to also do a signup bonus for one of the Amex MR point cards without an annual fee. As long as you have ANY MR card, you keep all the points (they pool into a single pool-- rather than being "on" a particular card like Chase)
