$200 for sure. United generally values each point at 1 cent each so that's $100.

With the $200 credit, youll earn at least 1000 miles up to 2200 (if you're 1k status). So you really should compare $200 to 9000 miles.

If you have a sizeable miles balance and would otherwise redeem a business/first class ticket, you could get >$200 of value out of 10k miles. But in any other instance, $200 credit is better

I'd take the $200. The miles are worth around $120. https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/travel/how-much-are-my-united-miles-worth

$200, don’t look back

If you do billable work on a given PTO/vacation day, do you still count that day as vacation? Or do you get that vacation day "back"? Or do you only get the part that you billed "back"? (Or some other option.)
