You're realising HK$0.055/AM. I'm aiming for $0.058.

Once CX removed Choice awards, miles plus cash is my highest and best use for AM. I'm valuing my miles at $0.058 now; hence, preferring most cash rebate programs for spending (recently, going for a lot of BoC 10X points promotions where each 1X = 0.6% cash rebate).
