However, the redemption rate of Eva miles for the Economy Class is terrible. For example IAH<->TPE is 100k round trip for a free ticket in Economy class.
It is a better value to use the miles either for upgrade from Premium Economy to Business(40k Eva miles one way for IAH<-> TPE) or if available book a J ticket using all miles. (e.g. going from IAH to TPE would require 80k Eva miles one way for a free ticket.)

The availability of upgrades is much better than free tickets, though.

If you have a lot of expiring miles you can consider the above. Otherwise if you only have < 10k you can redeem for some magazines, sim cards or other small items. (mostly only useful in Taiwan.)
