It's a legal offer, they can't just turn their back on it. Though it could have consequences if the person wants to come back and claim refugee status again I guess.

But of course a lot of refugees are not really in danger but just try the refugee way for better economic opportunities. This amount is high enough to perhaps appeal to those. I think the main reason it wasn't popular is that the amount was negligible.

I think overall it's a good thing, it's voluntary and they free up spaces for refugees that are really in danger.
