This is surprising, and seems to fly in the face of all logic surrounding reward flights.

It's a one-off return of a charter flight. Smart way of utilizing the empty leg.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Didn't realize it was an empty leg. Why don't they just sell revenue tickets?

Because it would never fill up. Now they can market it, and it will get filled up.
