You need a Sapphire or Ink Preferred to get good value. Transferring to Hyatt or to an airline for business/first class flights could make 10k points worth anywhere from $200 to $500+.

With just a Freedom, your only option is a $100 statement credit or $100 gift card (maybe slightly more if they're running a promo for certain stores).

Save the points and open a premium card to unlock transfer partners.
