Two numbers

Travel, the big number: a realistic redemption through airline and hotel partners, not the best one ever found.

Cash: cash back, a statement credit or the issuer’s travel portal. Shown only when it differs from travel.

Where each value comes from

Our research
We priced real award bookings ourselves and used the middle result.
Fixed value
The value follows from the program's published rules, like cash back or a fixed redemption rate.
Published estimates
We don't have our own data yet, so we use the middle of what major publishers estimate.
Our estimate
Our own judgment where we don't have priced samples or a publisher consensus; its page says how we got the number.
