Currency values.

USA Club Rewards transfers 1000:1000 to airline miles. Canadian Club Rewards transfers 1250:1000. This values Canadian Club Rewards points at 80% of the USA version. I realize that doesn't reflect the current exchange rate, but here are the annual average CAD/USD rates in this decade:

  • 2001 .646
  • 2002 .637
  • 2003 .716
  • 2004 .770
  • 2005 .826
  • 2006 .882
  • 2007 .935
  • 2008 .944
  • 2009 .880
