I would think once you have paid that, the extra 5K would be a no-brainer.
I don't think you need the card, I think this deal is stand alone--you just pay the $5K. As others have said, it's not an obvious value for most people. You don't know about travel until shortly before departure, and you can't have any confirmed return flight through the program, so it's really not of great value to most people.
