What Are Your Points and Miles Worth?
Last updated: September 1, 2026
What are your points worth? Most published point valuations are editorial estimates. AwardWallet's are calculated from 353,973 airline and hotel award bookings made by AwardWallet members, so they reflect what travelers really redeem for rather than what a redemption could theoretically be worth. Transferable point values are derived from those same bookings, weighted across each program's transfer partners. Sample sizes are published for every program, and you can read our full valuation methodology or pull the underlying data from our open API.
Each value is expressed in US cents per point and broken out by trip type, because a mile is not worth the same in every seat. We report separate values for regional flights, generally under five hours, and long-haul international flights, and within each, separate values for economy or premium economy and business or first class. Premium cabin redemptions typically return substantially more per point, which is why a single blended number can mislead. Values cover airline programs, hotel programs and transferable bank currencies, with hotel programs broken down by individual brand.
Point and mile values are calculated and managed by AwardWallet. You are free to use them in your own products with attribution and a link to this page.

Bank Rewards (Fixed Cash-Back Rates)
These are cash-back programs with fixed redemption rates set by the issuer, so their values are defined rather than calculated from bookings.
Frequently Asked Questions
q: How much are points and miles worth?
a: It varies widely by program and by how you redeem. AwardWallet calculates values in cents per point from actual award bookings made by members, with separate figures for regional and long-haul flights and for economy and premium cabins.
q: How are AwardWallet point values calculated?
a: They are derived from real award bookings made by AwardWallet members rather than from editorial estimates, and they update as new bookings are recorded.
q: Why are business class redemptions worth more per point?
a: Premium cabin fares cost far more in cash than economy fares while award pricing does not rise proportionally, so the same number of points typically returns more value in business or first class.
