If you are gunning for the 100,000 points, then sure $150 (or $50 if you factor GE credit) is a nice way to get a couple nights for free.

Personally, if you don't need the signing bonus, there's not much of a reason (certainly not because of $300 annual credit).
The only consideration is that depending on the wife's anniversary date they can potentially come out ahead with a prorated AF but double dipping the $300 credit.
