The thing it looks like we're getting:

"These are some nice trophies you're getting. Remember that thing you were getting for free anyways in a couple months? It's going to cost you some of those trophies instead."
It's not costing any trophies. This doesn't make any change to those. But besides any direct achievement rewards (like we get now), you'll also be getting certificates based on the number of (up to now useless) points you get for achievements. Then you can take those certificates and get your choice of rewards for them.

I don't know what sort of thresholds we need to meet to earn those certificates, but the basic pattern described in the announcement is exactly what you were asking for.
