Nothing to be done with RR credits except to add to them with the requisite number of points to get an old-style standard reward. You cannot cash them in otherwise and you cannot give or transfer them to anyone.

Read this, though, for another wrinkle involving credits that you may find of interest:

Assume, I were to apply for the business SW credit card and get 50,000 points. When I redeem, can I choose to use 3 credits + the remainder in points? Or does the redemption automatically use points first?
