It's potentially worth much more used for some travel (transfer to airline partners primarily, esp premium flight bookings)
For example I recently booked a ~$3000 flight using 144k points.
That's on top of the many hundreds in various credits you can get during your 1 year of membership.
The link gets me the "standard" 100K points offer, btw, both regular and incognito Chrome modes. But I just got a Morgan Stanley card and am pretty sure I've had a "regular" Amex in the past seven years, so probably a moot point.

About carrying a balance, though... Amex has Pay Over Time feature. Not sure if it applies to everybody, but at least I had a pretty generous POT limit on my Gold which has now transferred over to Platinum in case I need it.

150k pts is $1650 in cash with a Schwab card (potentially far more if used for certain travel)
Plus you get a slew of credits (of varying degree of usability) worth many hundreds of dollars more, most of which you can double-dip since they're calendar year based.... plus access to the best airport lounges around (though be aware you stop getting free guest access in Feb 2023 unless you spend a TON on the card)
For most folks this isn't a long-term keeper card (unless either you fly a lot out of a home airport with a centurion and you can get most of the value out of even the weirder monthly credits) but it's certainly highly profitable as a signup/holding for a year.... (sometimes a second depending if retention is offering anything decent- though the loss of free guests will ding that some)
150k is enough for a business class ticket from USA to Asia (LAX to SIN for example), which will cost from $4k upward to $15k (Singapore Airlines) depends on your air carriers.

The two that exist you didn't mention that I can think of are the Morgan Stanley....the the business platinum
There used to be a Mercedes Benz one, but they killed that off a while ago.
240k to UK from where? Anywhere in US should be available considerably cheaper on multiple airlines.

They do but the rate is awful at 0.6 cents per point.
You can get 1 cent a point for gift cards or flights booked through their travel portal.
You can get 1.1 cents a point if you cash them out through the Schwab platinum card as cash
And you can get anywhere in the broad range of 1.5-5 cents a point (or more) transferring them to airlines for flights (with the higher end of that range being for higher than coach bookings)
