It’s amazing how credit card rewards structures have evolved over the years. Back in the day, you’d typically only earn one point per dollar spent on credit cards.

Is it worth it?
15k MR (sometimes more), 2x MR with $0 AF and the ability to keep your MR alive (aka you can cancel all Green/Gold/Plat cards and still have access to your MR).
Absolutely!
Worth it? Its free. It's perhaps the best all around card that Amex provides. Considering that many things fall outside of the other multipliers I end up most months making more in points off this than anything.
Currently paying my rent with the BBP after Bilt had it's 2.0 change.

Ben - Does it tell you somewhere how you are tracking against the $50k spend ceiling for double points? I would want to be careful to divert my spend to another card after $50k.
@ 747-400 -- Unfortunately there's not any sort of a tracker that I know. The best you can do is look at your spending summary in your statements.
Amex Platinum, with their recent price hike has outright infuriated me.
I plan to get this Blue Biz card to protect my current points (and my "member since" year of 88) and then cancel my Platinum.
Once the dust settles, I will transfer some Fidelity investment $$ over to Schwab to get a "free" Amex Platinum.
