How We Calculate Sweet Spot Value
CPP = (estimated cash price × 100) ÷ points required. A route costing 50,000 miles where cash fares average $1,500 gives 3.0¢/pt.
We use conservative cash price estimates: ~$7,000 for long-haul business and ~$18,000 for long-haul first class. Routes where cash fares regularly exceed these are even better sweet spots.
Sweet spot value only materializes when award inventory is available. Book as early as possible — typically 330 days out for most programs. Off-peak dates often have better availability.
