Here’s my rebuttal to a recent post by Your Mileage May Vary arguing that calculating cents per point (CPP) or cents per mile (CPM) is an “awful” way to value award points.
As YMMV notes, think of CPM or CPP like this:
CPP = (Cash Price in Cents) ÷ (Points Required)
Example: $100 cash rate (10,000 points) → 100 ÷ 10,000 = 1 CPP
