Annoyingly enough I still got a whack of miles go to my dream balance after I changed my preferences because of their dumb system. I called and complained because I would never ever be able to cash out the dream miles, and they credited me my miles and a bit back to my cash balance. Note they didn't take away/transfer the dream miles to cash, they just gave me more cash miles, because they said the system could not do a transfer between balances.
It took me a fair amount of effort to change from dream miles/GCs to cash miles, just to do the same old thing and redeem at metro. I took care of everything at the beginning of march and already 4 months later they have removed the GC option. They still have HBC GCs, maybe that will work for somebody.
