Probably not.

3) Use the damn points. Leave the calculator behind when you go to Maldives.
The maldives was a basic example to see if I was calculating things correctly.

Obviously that & Bora Bora are no brainers. What I want is a method to evaluate my not-so-glorious redemptions, like a US domestic flight.

For example ... if I can get a better valuation transferring MR points to Delta vs using MR as cash option, things like that
