$0.04 per status mile is the basic standard, and that doesn't count bonus miles of any kind.

$0.02 per earned mile is the basic for a MR. A good mileage run will earn you miles at less, something like $0.015/mile.

An excellent run is when you go down to $0.01/mile.</font>
About a year ago I got 6 cases of Kellogg's Mini-Wheats w/ the AA miles on them for 66 cents box(store promo $1 off w/coupon$1 off). 16 boxes in each case so that's 9600 miles for $63.36! Not a MR like usually defined here, but I did have to drive to 1/2 dozen stores to get them- and it only took me about 2 1/2 hours.
