Let's say you purchased 100k miles for $0.016 each. You would have spent $1,600 but now have enough miles to redeem for an international business class ticket on quite a few airlines (depending on availability). Buy 125k at the same price and you now have a First class ticket for $2,000. Hard to beat that.
