The question is, can you get the best fares this way? If not then the 1.66c number is inflated.
Not sure how 40% = 1.66c in this case?

Citi Prestige redeems on AA/US for 1.6c so it's not novel.

As for best price, the UR travel site generally has flights for the same price as airlines (although not all inventory) and hotels are inflated.

We'll see what happens.
