Well, some use some number of cents/mile to answer such a question, but everyone is different and their calculations don't work *for me*.
A domestic RT on DL typically costs 40-60k miles (sure, there's 25k mile tix out there, but they're difficult for a non-expert to find), and that ticket probably costs at least $400. So, $100 for 10k miles is about break even for the non-aspirational and non-expert traveler.
