Lately I've found it difficult to get much more than 1
cent per point of value out of airline miles for domestic air travel.
Sure enough, the purchase - with - cash option that appears on the award booking screen confirms just how fantastic a deal this trip really is: at more than $ 7,700 per person, Kevin would be receiving a preposterous 12 cents
per point of value for an Economy redemption!
Since you only get 1 cent
per point of value if you redeem for cash - back, this means redeeming through the Travel Center gives you 50 % more value for your points.
If I had to just choose one, I'd go for the 1,000 Membership Rewards because I'll get around 2 cents
per point of value with those points making my value received close to $ 20 back with each payment.
So if you transferred Membership Rewards for that redemption you'd be getting 2.2 cents
per point of value for your Amex Membership Rewards, which would be a great deal for many people.
This works out to getting only about 1 cent
per point of value from your SPG points, where I value them at at least 2.5 cents each.
