Advice: Points for Credit Redemption

[kagitower]

Gee Cyberdog we all value our points differently.
If you only want to travel in economy the points are barely worth a cent each.
If you use them for business class or better the points are worth at least 4 cents each.
Getting a short term low cost loan could work pretty well thru a low cost credit card.

10000pts -> $100 AUD in forex -> ??USD -> AUD
you probably lose 9% in the spread, but better than gift cards.

A QFF oneworld 140/280/420K award may compare to a 34000 mile oneworld Global explorer.

Ex Oz, that $4.3K, $11.2 and $16.7 respectively.

So in relative terms, that's 3.1, 4.0 and 3.9 ¢/point.

Well, I ended up selling a lot of stuff on eBay and kept my points instead, I think that was the best option possible!!
