We've developed a set of valuations for airline, hotel, and bank loyalty programs to guide you. The value (in cents) per point or mile depends on factors including program policies. One of the keys to making the most of your points and miles is knowing what they are worth.

That way, when it comes time to redeem them for travel, you'll know whether you're getting a great deal or just a so-so redemption. However, all points and miles aren't worth the same amount — it varies by program and by how you use them. To make things clearer, we've developed a set of valuations that factor in the strengths, weaknesses, and idiosyncrasies of 30 popular loyalty programs, including a variety of airline , hotel , and credit card rewards .

Each valuation ass.
