Credit Card Points Calculator

100,000 Chase Ultimate Rewards points are worth approximately $2,000 based on current valuations. However, the actual value depends on how you redeem them. Transferring to airline partners can yield 2-4 cents per point for premium cabin bookings, while cash back redemption gives exactly 1 cent per point.

American Express Membership Rewards points are valued at approximately 2.0 cents each. Transfer to airline partners like ANA or Singapore Airlines can yield even higher value. Cash back and gift card redemptions typically provide only 0.5-1.0 cent per point.

Generally yes. Airline miles are typically valued at 1.2-1.8 cents each, while hotel points range from 0.4-0.9 cents. However, this varies greatly by program. Southwest Rapid Rewards average 1.4 cents, while Hilton Honors average about 0.5 cents. Flexible points programs (Chase UR, Amex MR) offer the best value because you can transfer to multiple partners.

Transfer to airline and hotel loyalty partners almost always provides the best value. Premium cabin flights booked with transferred points can yield 3-5 cents per point. Shopping portal and statement credit redemptions provide the worst value. Use this calculator to compare what your points are worth across different programs.

Point valuations are updated monthly based on redemption analysis. Significant devaluations (where a program reduces redemption value) happen 1-3 times per year across major programs. We track these changes and update our valuations accordingly. Checking your points value regularly helps you decide when to earn vs. when to burn.

It depends on your travel goals and the specific transfer ratios. Airline transfers generally provide better per-point value, especially for international premium cabin flights. Hotel transfers make sense when you find outsized value, such as 5th-night-free benefits or off-peak redemptions. Always calculate the cents-per-point value before transferring.

Flexible points programs (Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One Miles, Bilt Rewards) let you transfer points to multiple airline and hotel partners at fixed ratios (usually 1:1). This flexibility makes them significantly more valuable than single-program points because you can always find the best redemption option.

Marriott Bonvoy points are worth approximately 0.7-0.9 cents each based on current hotel redemption rates. The value of Marriott points varies significantly by property category — off-peak Category 1 redemptions can yield over 1.2 cents per point, while peak Category 8 bookings may drop below 0.5 cents. The 5th-night-free benefit on award stays of 5+ nights effectively adds 20% to your per-point value.

Hilton Honors points are worth approximately 0.5-0.6 cents each on average. Because Hilton uses dynamic pricing, the value of Hilton points fluctuates based on demand and cash rates. The best value typically comes from redeeming at premium properties where cash rates are high. The 5th-night-free benefit also boosts effective per-point value by 20% on longer stays.

Southwest Rapid Rewards points are worth approximately 1.3-1.5 cents each. Unlike most airlines, how much Southwest points are worth is straightforward to calculate because Southwest ties redemption values directly to the cash fare. This means there are no award charts, no blackout dates, and the per-point value is consistently predictable across all flights.

Bilt Rewards points are worth approximately 1.8-2.0 cents each, making them one of the most valuable transferable points currencies. The value of Bilt points is high because they transfer 1:1 to premium partners like Hyatt, American Airlines, United, and Turkish Airlines. Bilt is unique in letting you earn points on rent payments with no transaction fee.

World of Hyatt points are worth approximately 1.7-2.0 cents each, making them among the most valuable hotel points. How much Hyatt points are worth depends on the property category, but even mid-tier redemptions consistently deliver strong value. Hyatt is a 1:1 Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer partner, which is a major reason Chase points are valued so highly.
