Seems to have at least two advantages: It's the more common, more reliable way of "converting" to a new card, and it gets you a sign-up bonus, whereas outright converting gets you nothing.
I already applied for Choice card two years back, but stupidly I closed the account after one year. So I may not get bonus points if I apply for new Choice card. Now I realized the value of choice points, I want to convert all my spending to accure choice points, hence this issue. I called again yesterday and the CSR said he can put a request to convert the card and decision will be made in a week time. So I just have to wait and see if they do it.
