What Are Your Points and Miles Worth?

Last updated: August 1, 2026

What are your points worth? Most published point valuations are editorial estimates. AwardWallet's are calculated from 349,456 actual award bookings made by AwardWallet members, so they reflect what travelers really redeem for rather than what a redemption could theoretically be worth. Sample sizes are published for every program, and the underlying data is available through 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.

javascript
const res = await fetch('https://loyalty.awardwallet.com/v1/point-mile-values/list', {
