I know the 2 cpm valuation is overly generous, but is this a reasonable maximum valuation for Plus Points, since they are only worth what the equivalent cost in miles and cash would be?
W class is 30k + $550 versus 40 points, so I think a better upper bound is probably using that as a metric: $28.75 at 2 cpm. This is definitely an overly optimistic valuation, but I think it's a fairly firm upper bound.
