So about 5 cents per mile.. I read on a thread that they valued their miles at 8 cents a mile on a mini RTW in business/first..

Reading FT posts.. makes me think that somewhere down the line we need to start discovering first class.. seems to be the short cut from buying First Class or Business Class Tickets.

I value my points at 2 cents, possible sometimes 3 cents per mile..
