Do your own math. There's no way you may fly CX from US to HK in C with $1500. However, 150K miles in the right programs can certainly do (in
Gamecock's example itinerary):

Also if you had checked the
award chart on UAL.com, you'd find the possibility of award tix in Business Class from SF to Copenhagen using 100K miles (Saver Award).
Now you can be the judge whether $1500 or 150K miles is more valuable.
