The fact that it’s posted as a question I would suggest two options:
1. apply for Charles Schwab plat and cash out at 1.1c for about $3K (including CS sign up, minus fee).
2. Transfer to travel partners if any make sense to you to empty the balance (Avios,Virgin,JetBlue,Marriott)
Transfer to partners.
There's some sweet spots in AF/KLM's Flying Blue and Virgin Atlantic's Flying Club if you like Delta. It's a better deal than SkyMiles, in most cases.

Transfer to travel partners. You can get multipliers on hotels and for flights you can use the points to book award space that will maximize point value
Recently had a promo where you could fly from NYC to Madrid roundtrip for around 30,000 MR points + $190 tax in premium economy. Cash price for same flight was around $1300.
I have 1.2M points and am planning on using them to take my family on a cruise

As crappy as this is vs some airline options, it’s probably the better option given it’s 1:1 for some retailers.
I can help if you have a hard time spending them. 😊
