Yes, the $99 annual fee essentially makes the companion flight cost $200 plus tax, but that could still be big savings depending on when/where you fly (i.e. Peak or holiday season).

I got the Elite WJ MC card as we're planning a trip over Christmas to Mexico. Between the $250 bonus, the $299 companion flight, and no charge checked baggage, I figure we'll save about $700 on flights for the four of us. Checked baggage would have cost $200 itself.
I have a Costco Capital One MC that I use for Costco purchases only (including fuel) and will get about $150 returned this year. I use a Scotiabank Momentum Visa for basically everything else and I'll probably get about $950 in cash back.
