Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a good redemption value?
It varies by loyalty program, but redemptions yielding 1.5 to 2 cents per point or more are generally considered good value, while redemptions below 1 cent per point are often considered poor use of points.
Why does redemption value vary so much for the same points balance?
Premium cabin flight redemptions and high-demand travel dates typically yield much higher cents-per-point value than economy flights or gift card redemptions, since travel rewards are usually most valuable for aspirational travel.
How do I find the cash value to compare against?
Use the actual cash price you would have paid for the same flight or hotel stay if booking with cash instead of points, the standard baseline for calculating true redemption value.
