I just don't see a great take rate on this, even though it makes more sense than holding onto DL miles that people may or may not EVER find a use for.

I think there are valuable uses for DL miles. I just don't think most people have the stick-to-it-ness required to find the elusive, yet valuable awards.

It's nice to know the option exists, and if I had no status with DL and wanted out on whatever miles I had accumulated with them (or that my wife or SO had), this would be the exit strategy.
