Help! What are my Points Worth? – Travel On Point(s)

Derrick is one of the few that has put together a post based on his own redemptions over the past few years. It is always interesting to see what others are able to accomplish with miles and points. Point valuations are very personal and can vary widely from one person to another.  I don’t track my redemptions at all which may be a shock to some.

When looking at point valuations remember that some people will save their points for premium redemptions which offer more value. Others will use them pretty much all of the time which will offer less value over time.  Both ways are right and which route you go will totally depend on your situation.
