The value of miles comes down to what you use them for.

Domestic Y travel values miles between $0.01 and $0.03. Redeeming miles for hotel stays are often $0.01 to $0.02 per mile. International premium travel values miles between $0.07 and $0.10.

You've been offered miles at $0.013 per mile. Seems like a decent deal, either way.

I have used miles several times for travel on Concorde, SQ-F and QF-F travel over the years...for a savings of slightly more than $100,000 off the rack-rate air fares on the routes I've flown.
