I believe their exchange rate is 1 point = 1 cent.

So you would be losing $64 on the deal

Why would you exchange the Staples rebate card for UA Miles?

Why not buy a $200 VGC with the rebate card?

Why not
I might have read your question wrong, you're asking if it 's worth it to spend 3,600 miles for a $100 GC?
