SPG points are a more valuable given a constant 25% bonus.
Miles are miles and hotel points are hotel points, so not too hard to assign a $ value. It's the airline ticket you would have bought if you hadn't got it as an award (with suitable adjustments for the redeemable miles and status ones you don't get) or the room you got as an award and didn't pay for. Is it ever more with AmEx or something else from credit card spends?
I assume that the highest value anyone ever manages is a premium seat on an international flight. Anyone get high value for another redemption value? If you get 2% cash back on every spend with a card like Fidelity's, is there much, if anything more with AmEx?
