Not really, because you don't get AS miles. You could just buy AS gift cards if you want AS scrip.

Why would you "cash out?" I have near 7 figure balance of Amex points and won't be using them until I find a biz class fare valued at well in excess of 1.54cpp. Though about using last night at Hilton but the conversion rate is just too low.
