Values are Points Frog's estimates of what one point or mile is worth when redeemed for good, available awards, in US cents. They are not cash-out rates, and they say nothing about how fast each program earns. How we value points. Left out: Norwegian Reward, whose CashPoints are a fixed cash value (10¢ each), so a value per unit would not compare.

By the estimated value of one point or mile when redeemed for travel, in US cents, from Points Frog's valuation catalog. The estimate is an editorial average of good, available redemptions, not a cash-out rate. It does not weigh how easily the points are earned, so compare earning rates too before choosing a program.
