If it's still around $724 that's a bit ridiculous as I can find regular fares cheaper than that. In this case there's no way I'd waste my time with even a 100,000 mile bonus on their VISA.
As Prospero says, about $400, and you can check (approximately) by doing a dummy cash booking.

Sure, you can find regular fares cheaper than $724, but they are non-refundable non-changeable Y fares. $724 gets you total flexibility in CW.
