It's a further 20,000 points for the second $1000 in spend.

I value 20,000 BW points at close to $80. Certainly they're worth $60.
So for every $1,000 in spend, that's $60 in value.

That's a 6% to 8% return on your spend.

So, yes, everyone should do what's right for them, and don't spend outside your means. But I can't find a return better than 6% on any other card (unless I'm doing other churns, too ).
