Only if you want to fly that airline! Now the gift card credit only works for SW and Delta, so If you are going to fly them anyway, then they are almost like cash. Also keep in mind that you lose credit card travel protection when purchased with gift card.
Btw, both of my Delta credits appeared today. Purchased 2 $50 gift cards. Initially only $50 credited, but got my second one.
