I use my airline miles for international travel only -- but -- for a direct comparison, I recently booked TPE-KUL in business class on CI using 70,000 DL miles plus $80 in taxes and fees ($50 of that is YQ).
On the Rearden site I could have booked a connection in business class on Malaysian airlines for 67,616 UR points.
But a sample domestic -- DCA-LAX on DL, 25,000 miles for 1/5-1/7.
Rearden -- BWI-LGB, DL out and US return for 31,104 UR points, but of course you earn miles (I think, don't see the booking class on Rearden).
