How much are my airline miles worth? — FAQ
- How much are my airline miles worth?
- Most airline miles are worth about 1.2–1.6 cents each in typical redemption value (The Points Guy, October 2026), and more for premium-cabin awards. Pick your program in the calculator for its specific per-mile value, then multiply your balance by it to estimate the total.
- Why do different programs have different values?
- Each program prices awards differently and adds different surcharges, so a mile in one program buys more travel than a mile in another. Programs with strong premium-cabin sweet spots tend to be worth more.
- Are these values exact?
- No — the per-program values are The Points Guy's October 2026 monthly valuations (accessed 5 Oct 2026), which are planning estimates based on typical redemptions. Your actual value depends on the specific award, cabin, route, and any surcharges. Premium cabins are worth more than the averages.
