When using reward program points and miles to pay for their travel, how do you know if you are getting great value out of your hard-earned reward currency?
Using our site’s built in CPM (cents per mile) formula, we will automatically calculate your actual redemption value on every reservation you complete.
To calculate the CPM, we divide the total cash value of the reward you redeemed, and divide it by the number of points you used.
CPM (cents per mile) =
Total Cash Value
Number of Points or Miles Redeemed
