Points + Miles
Every tool here shows its formula. No “points are worth about…” hand-waving — a number, its working, and a verdict.
Points value calculator
No black box: value = (cash price − taxes & fees) ÷ points, in cents. Compare the same flight, same cabin — anything else is marketing.
5.58¢per point
Excellent — the kind of redemption worth transferring for.
Worked example pre-loaded (a premium fare at 37,000 points). Program ratios refresh from live data when the award engine lands at P3 — figures here are sample data, the formula is the real one.
Transfer bonuses
Transfer 37,000 points during a 30% bonus and 48,100 arrive — the same seat for 11,100 fewer points out of your balance. Bonuses are the one legitimate cheat code in points; the watch for them is a standing job in the clean system.
The golden rule
Transfers are usually irreversible. Confirm the award seat exists, run it through the calculator, and only then move points. The education guides — portals vs transfers, and how transfer partners work — migrate here with the content in P1.
Get the fare alerts
One email when a checked fare or a transfer bonus is genuinely worth your points. No daily blasts, no selling your address.
Sample surface on staging — signups connect to the real list when the data layer lands (blueprint M6).
Coming with the engine
Live program ratios, freshness-checked (anything over 30 days old gets flagged), transfer-bonus watches and a scored optimizer — the lifted award engine behind these same screens.
