That is the metric I'm trying to work out. You'd have been able to near guarantee her it would only clear a day or so out, so she it seems values a CR1 at less than 5 x 500 milers??
.
If I have a lot of CR1's and a couple expiring soon then I use them. I rarely get low on CR1's so typically I will just use them anyway. It isn't that I don't value them so much...just more of a supply and demand issue.
