š§® Why This Calculator Matters
š How to Use It Effectively: If youāre like me, youāve probably accumulated a stash of airline miles or hotel pointsāmaybe from travel, maybe from those trusty rewards credit cards. And when itās time to book a trip, the big question is: Should I use my points or just pay cash? š¤
š From Chicago to Cuenca or Denver to Da Nang, this tool helps you stretch every mile.
āļø Travel Smarter, Spend Wiser: Before you book, ask: Are you spending pointsāor wasting them? One of the best tools Iāve found for answering that is the Points and Miles Value Calculator from Brian Kelly, aka The Points Guy. Heās one of the original experts in the travel rewards space, and his calculator helps you compare the cash value of your trip against the value of redeeming your miles or points. Itās a smart way to make sure youāre getting the best value for your travel rewards. Every point has a purposeāthis tool helps you find it. Press button below for link to the calculator.
Value-driven travel starts with smarter choicesāthis is one of them.
