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.
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.

Keep in mind about their CC applications - once you're approved you'll get a hard hit from them at least once an year if not more often.

I have 5-6 different Amex cards and don't see any checks besides the initial one

The other problem is that amex doesn't classify a lot of online purchases as valid for the 3% whereas paypal gives you 3% anytime you use PayPal Mastercard through the paypal option on any website that offers it.
Basic Card Members will earn a reward of 3% cash back on the first $6,000 of eligible purchases across the Card Account in a calendar year (then 1%) at supermarkets located in the U.S. (superstores, convenience stores, warehouse clubs, and meal-kit delivery services are not considered supermarkets); 3% cash back on the first of $6,000 of U.S. online retail purchases across the Card Account (then 1%), 3% cash back on the first $6,000 of purchases of gasoline at gas stations located in the U.S across the Card Account (then 1%), (superstores, supermarkets and warehouse clubs that sell gasoline are not considered gas stations); and 1% on all other eligible purchases.

I think they work well with eachother. The Amex should give the 3% as long as it's physical product and isn't pick-up... I think it may even work on digital. I'd assume they have fine print and/or would fix it if things didn't register properly. I also just received the alert that Amex is leaving ebay so that's a bummer. I still also use it for gas and also offers a flat 3% on groceries. The downfall is it drops to 1% on anything else and Amex is taken at fewer places.
PayPal is more sure in what it does, but not all websites take PayPal, either. I'm disappointed when it happens I just go straight to the Amex. The pro and con is it is a flat 2% everywhere else. So at its worst, it's comparable to a wells Fargo active cash (not including introductory bonus) and makes it a good default.
With no fees on normal use, I see these cards more as partners than competitors. Other than store specific 5% off like Amazon, target, Walmart, these are both among the best 0 annual fee everyday cards that should be considered.
I often pay with PayPal and always get 3% cashback to Amex.
