I still don't understand these types of questions.

I get that you're trying to convert the Airline Fee Credit into, essentially, cash. But why go through all that trouble and potentially risk having it clawed back?

Why not, say, use the credit to actually cover incidental airline fees? Or if you never incur such fees, pick a different CC that covers any travel expenses? Or pay those fees for a family member?

And if you really want to effectively convert the credit into cash, just go the eGC route. You're basically getting $200 toward DL airfare that we assume you'd already be spending over the course of the year (based on the fact that you've selected DL as your airline for the credit, and that you're paying $450/yr for a travel rewards-oriented charge card).
