Sometimes, in exchange for a design fee for my work, I tell my clients (many of whom travel a great deal) they can barter and give me miles. It makes what can be a very spendy decision (furniture costs a lot!) more light hearted and fun.

The question is: what is a 'fair' monetary exchange for every domestic or Europe ticket I get? For example, do I tell them every domestic ticket is worth $300 off the bill? Europe is worth $600 off the bill? Clearly, the tickets are not really worth retail value. Or maybe they are? Just not sure and this seems like the perfect group to ask.

My partner and I go New York - Hawaii to visit the family every year. We'd also like to do New York - Geneva and Paris since we have friends with babies there. Plus there is the occasional New York - SFO trip to see childhood friends. Hope that info. is helpful in guiding advice.

Thanks in advance to everyone for the help.

Best,

Jarret
