Now that its all booked for our Asia Trip, how did I do? There is a lot of analysis out there that says you should aim for “x” cents per point. I am just going to give you the facts.
When I booked my reward ticket I checked the current cost of the tickets for the same route. The cost of the tickets would have been ~$12,000 USD per person. I used 150K points per person for the same ticket and my taxes and fees were ~$100 CAD per person thanks to being Altitude Super Elite 100K.
Valuation:
Based on what I paid for taxes/fees and what the ticket would have cost me, I ended up at a point valuation of 8.0 cents/point which is very good for this reward.
