See privacy policy.November Point and Mile ValuationsOne of the questions I’m asked most often is “how much is a point or mile worth?” The answer varies from person to person and depends on how well you can maximize a particular currency for your needs. Still, some points are worth more than others. My valuations are based on a combination of how much I would pay to buy points if given the opportunity, and the overall value I could get from redeeming them. Some of this months changes include adding Choice Privileges to the list and lowering my valuation for Barclaycard Arrival miles.
