I can't speak about amounts that large, but, I've purchased a few amazon gift cards (varying amounts $50-$100) using xmr.to (I mined monero for a bit just because) and a service like gyft. Which I've then used to buy tangible things.
Of course that's not cashing thousands of dollars worth of BTC out directly into your checking account.
