Summary
There is no single right answer as to what points are worth. With most points, the value depends upon how the points are used. It's often possible to get great value or very poor value from the same types of points. But in this podcast episode, we'll talk about how a "reasonable redemption value" can help you assess the value of your miles and points. (01:20) - How can you evaluate credit card welcome offers without an idea of what points are worth? (02:14) - Reasonable Redemption Values (RRVs) are estimates of how much value you can reasonably expect to get from your points. (03:24) - At Frequent Miler, we use RRVs to calculate... (04:40) - Where do our RRVs come from?
