What are your thoughts on this ?
Ah! Love this topic! Value of miles all depend on what you want to do with your miles. I, for example find it already worthwhile to "buy" miles at about 1.5 cents per mile. My criteria is the price of miles has to be cheaper than Z fare + tax on CDG or AMS to JFK divided by 120000 miles. The reasoning is that I would pay more if I had to buy the ticket.
For somebody else it could be 0.5 cents per miles because he would have completely other ideas.
So. What do you want to do with them and I'd be happy to give some directions.
On a preview: 60000 miles for 120 quid extra sounds like a bargain to me. But then the additional question is, how many miles would you earn if you would not pay the 120 quid extra?

Edit: Similar reasoning...but had already typed this
