Both!
The free ticket needs availability from W class which is the same as a regular WP reward ticket. I always take the $$$ value - except one time they only offered $150 or a free ticket. I took the free ticket and used it for a trip from PIT to RAP (I always wanted to see Mt Rushmore & Crazy Horse) which at the time was something like a $500 ticket!! PLUS - the dollar amount can be used toward a ticket to anywhere in the world - not just US48 and Canada.
