Thinking of doing an SPG transfer; would someone be kind enough to check my math?
Typically I would transfer to AA miles with the 5k bonus for 20k transferred. No SPG status. I value an AA mile at 1.2 cents and US at 1.1 cents.
So, if I transfer the 2500 minimum, my cost would be:
2500 points transferred @ 1.2 cents/mile = $30.00
625 transfer bonus miles lost @ 1.2 cents/mile = $7.50
2500 US miles gained @ 1.1 cents/mile = $27.50
Net cost = 30.00 + 7.50 - 27.50 = $10.00
