The same is true for many countries´ AMEX MR program and many mileage program, however it´s rarely a good deal with those programs IMO.

Are you sure you don't mean CapitalOne Rewards? They briefly offered Ovation certificates as well as Fairmont and Hyatt GCs.

I'm not that familiar with UR either, but this sounds a lot like CapitalOne shortly after last year's 100k bonus.
