Thanks. Is there anything on that date from united with a good redemption rate? If not, can you show me to an example of a good redemption rate just so I see that I'm not collecting all these points for nothing 🙉
Well, miles are usually best used for last minute bookings, or business & first class travel.
Example of good redemption rate, a 1 way LH J flight from EWR-FRA on 11/22 cost approx. $6400.
Using miles it would be 70k + $5.6. That's a value of over 9 cents per point.
Now that same flight if booked as a round trip would only be $2500, so the 70k + $5.6 gets you a value of 3.56 cpp (assuming you're throwing out the return. If you need the return then the value goes down to 1.77 cpp).
