Well you could always use the ratio of BX points to AAdv miles for comparable awards if you have a defensible calculation of the value of an AAdv mile.

The same D49 T class award is 2,000 BX points or 25,000 AAdv miles. So your 30,000 BX points are worth the same as 375,000 AAdv miles using that methodology.
