I will end up around .007/mile.
I did my analysis a little different by assigning values to everything I buy.
Example my office max hit was $14. It was something I would of bought anyway but for no more than $5 making it a $9 hit.
Also I needed the hotel stays but the car rentals are going to be a total waste.
The tricky one for me was valuing my hotel points.
I used the following valuations
Will/Have Transferred:
Choice 5000=$30
Carlson 8000=$40
SPG 850=$17
BW 5000=$25
Wyndham 8000=$38

Will Not
Marriott 10000=$100
Hilton 10000=$50 (Might do anyway)
Hyatt 5000=$75
IHG 10000=$60
