The Point Calculator: Calculate Credit Card Rewards (2024)

FAQs

How do you calculate credit card reward points? ›

Credit card points can have different values — it all depends on how an issuer's points system works and how you redeem them. You'll usually get a 1:1 redemption for many options — which means 1X point is equal to 1 cent — though credit card issuers may adjust that value at any time.

To figure out the number of cents per point or mile you'll get from a specific redemption, divide the cash price of the award by the number of points or miles needed. For example, if an award flight that requires 25,000 miles to book would cost $500 if you paid cash, $500 / 25,000 = 2 cents per mile.
