if you don't already have the platinum and you love food and you have a corporate card, it's free food. and free airline incidentals until 2022. so in some cases it is.

Nope

I'd say not worth. The perks aren't as good as the Amex Platinum and point accruing likely wouldn't be as good at the Amex Blue Business Plus. The Amex Gold was one of the last cards I got in the Amex suite for those reasons. And I pretty much just got it for the sign on bonus

Nope
