What do you mean, "cash tickets"?

We've never used any points to get "cash", regardless of target purchase. The serious value to us of airline awards & Amex MR points is for international J and F, usually by transferring points to an airline partner (not by "cashing in the points").

These points were, as suggested above, transferred to a "partner airline", and then we got the SQ tickets. I don't consider that to be "cash".
How would this be any different than using AAdv points to get CX tickets, or - again - using MR points to get LH tickets? It's still transferring points to a partner.
