How do you tell the value of the miles?
Meaning, the cash of a flight is $266 RT and the miles cost is currently 16,500 RT
So is that a "good" deal?
TIA
Deduct how much the taxes would be from the revenue price, then divide the remaining amount by the amount of miles.
So let’s say revenue is $266.20, and mileage is 16,500 + $11.2.
Deduct the $11.2 leaving $255, then 255/16500 = 1.545 cents per point.
If you value your points at more then that rate (ie. 2cpp), you’re getting bad value. If you value them at less (ie. 1cpp) you’re getting good value.
