Also note that you’ll want to have a base value for comparison purposes too. Most loyalty sites value Aeroplan at 2 CPP and Marriott Bonvoy at .9 CPP. What that means is that if you find a redemption worth at least that much, it’s a good value. If the redemption falls below that threshold, you might be better off saving your points.If you collect loyalty points from a financial institution, you’ll have multiple redemption options such as travel rewards, gift cards, merchandise and more.
For example, the American Express Gold Rewards Card has an annual fee of $250, but it currently has a welcome bonus of 40,000 points when you charge $3,000 to your card in the first three months. In addition, you get an annual $100 travel credit and four Plaza Premium airport lounge passes.
