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.

Was the "partner" airline you transferred to Singapore? You didn't move MR to UA since they aren't a transfer partner, and the question was about using UA miles to book longhaul SQ J, so your experience has nothing to do with the question asked.
