Editor\u2019s note: This is a recurring post, regularly updated with new information and offers.<\/em><\/p>\n One of the questions people often ask me is, \u201cHow much is a point or mile worth?\u201d<\/p>\n The true answer varies from point to point and person to person. It also depends on your travel goals and how well you can maximize a particular loyalty currency. Still, some rewards are clearly worth more than others, and my goal is to give you a sense of how they stack up.<\/p>\n Historically, TPG has valued points and miles based on<\/a> a combination of the price at which we would purchase the miles<\/a>, award costs in the program (factoring in availability and fees) and our own expertise in the inner workings of the programs.<\/p>\n However, we are in the process of evolving our valuations to become as data-driven as possible.<\/p>\n Looking for a convenient way to see all of your points and miles in one place?
