The reason I ask is that I just flew DC-DKR on SAA on a Q class ticket at $1700. I credited it to UA, but doing a very quick calculation, that would be $1700*11.75=19,975 ZAR * 1.6= 31,960 (instead of the 8000 miles I got). Obviously this can't be right, so I'm curious what I'm missing.
You should be dividing by 1.6, not multiplying.
