In my case I'm shooting for First Class CX to South Africa, so the $450 + my free continental miles from last years offers represents 1/2 the mileage cost of that ticket. The fee is relatively 1/2 the price of very good deal economy ticket on Delta or South African Airways not not a CX first... Again it must be in the eye of the beholder since the person receiving Continental pays more in fees and received less miles than they gave me - yet they voluntarily traded - four times so far.
