I've noticed a number of redemptions that work that way. You'd expect that $50 would be 2X $25, or even 1.95X$25. Instead it is often more than 2X.

I have been holding points for 5,000 UA miles. I have enough for 2,500 (6,900 points). I cannot see what the cost of 5,000 is. I'm hoping it's 13,800 or fewer. Anyone know?
