Best redemptions: Business/first class awards on partner airlines (3–5+ CPM)

FAQs

Airline miles are typically worth 1–2 cents each, though this varies by program and how you redeem them. First/business class redemptions and partner transfers often yield 1.5–3 cents per mile.

Anything above 1.5 cents per mile (CPM) is generally considered a good redemption for US programs. Premium cabin awards on partner airlines can yield 3–5+ CPM. Merchandise or gift card redemptions often yield only 0.5–0.8 CPM.
