How are point values determined?

Keep in mind the value is not necessarily what these things would have cost otherwise it's what you would be willing to pay. So if you think the Conrad Maldives for example is only worth $500 per night and you would never pay $1300+ then that should be the basis for your calculation. I would use those cent per point numbers as a guide and always try to redeem for that value or above.
