It says in the Q & A that you can trade CPs for credits but it doesn't say so on the rule page.

I believe you can Exchange CPs for ships/vehicles/droids and then sell what you exchanged for Credits.

Exchanging Combine Points for credits was discontinued because it did not have a place in the current version of the Combine and the exchange rate had not changed to reflect the current economy. Short answer, the exchange rate was outdated and purchasing credits through CP would just screwing people over.

Also, the rules pages are rarely updated so while accurate for most things there are always a few things on older pages that are outdated.

Thanks

Can you please provide the link to where this is stated? If it is unclear, I think we will need to update it.

Looks like they are referring to this page on the holocron
