Points value ranges

What is one airline mile worth? A range, not one number.

We compare the points an airline charges with the cash price of the same flight. The result is a range: what most redemptions give, what a typical one gives, and what a good one gives.

How we measure

  1. We find a flight that costs points and the same flight priced in cash, on the same day and cabin.
  2. Value per point is the cash price, minus taxes and fees you pay either way, divided by the points. We show it in cents.
  3. We line up every redemption we checked, from lowest to highest. The low end is the value 1 in 4 redemptions falls under. The typical value is the middle one. The good case is the value only 1 in 10 beats.
  4. Two labels matter. Provisional means we checked fewer than 60 redemptions, so the range can still move. Published means 60 or more. With fewer than 10 we show no range at all.

What this does not tell you: your own trip may cost more or fewer points. We only count flights we can see publicly, and one very cheap route can pull a range up. A narrow range usually means we have seen few different prices. Read the full methodology. SwitchWize earns no commission from any airline or card, so no program pays to be ranked higher.
