original poster here with an update
So I finished the coursework in February, paid for everything within a couple of weeks or so. Grades took quite some time to be completed and everything appeared to finally be graded in April. As of a week ago, the courses and the "A" grades finally showed up on my unofficial transcript. As of today, the graduate certificate shows conferred and awarded.
I will provide an update when I get the cert in the mail. I am told it is a frameable 8.5x11 inch diploma style certificate.
I guess it works, it is just pretty slow and it appears they don't have enough staff to handle whatever their workload might be. Glad I got it though!

I got credit! Got my official transcribed courses. Looks like they took away the +/- from the grades. Not important, but it works. 15 graduate credits from Thunderbird for $3,070.

For $200/credit isn't bad for graduate credits, these are RA, now we need to know where these can transfer to...

In general, Columbia Southern is pretty generous with transfer credits, so that could be a possibility

I’ve heard that in reality they are very strict on which courses they take despite claiming they accept alot of transfer credits

Columbia Southern?? I applied and was accepted (haven’t enrolled). They accepted, I think, 18 of my graduate credits. (I’d have to double check). But they do have to line up with the courses in the program. I think the MBA has the most flexible options.

I'm curious -- for the assignments, did they expect/require APA 7 style (or comparable) and inline citations or footnotes? I'm weighing whether to seek out the certificate, but when I did the writing assignments I did zero formal citations because I was doing it for myself at the time.
(Also with the updated info on the 100 Million Learners website, they talk about being able to use the credits toward degree programs but say nothing about certificates, which makes me wonder if they've decided not to allow a certificate built on only the 100 Million Learners courses moving forward.)
