Thanks @Lain and @SouthFayetteFan - didn't really realize I had stumbled into something new or I would have done a better job of articulating the opportunity. Thanks for clarifying - keeping the machine running around here.
I think it's a decent cash out option if you've got the points, the transfer partner options don't interest you, and you don't have a Schwab Platinum to cash out for a better 1.25 cpp rate. I think the hurdle is this requires a Platinum card to do. But alternatively, you could sign up for a Schwab Platinum card and have the option to cash out at 1.25 cpp. If you can get the 60k MR SUB for the Schwab Platinum, that's a significant bonus ($750 if you're going to cash out); but even if you get the pop-up and are ineligible for the bonus, you could still time signing up for the Schwab Platinum for triple-dip season and get 3x$200 airline credits towards Delta or SW GCs (at least for now), in addition to Uber and Saks credits, and come out ahead. And can't you also get a $100 bonus for opening a Charles Schwab checking or brokerage account?
