We calculate point values by comparing the cost of goods/services when paid with cash vs. when redeemed with points. For transfer partners, we use the average value of award redemptions for economy and business class flights and standard hotel nights.
Values are approximate and updated monthly. Actual value may vary based on specific redemption choices, availability, and seasonal pricing.
