How much value per point your ticket costed? If it is 3 cent, then each pt is worth 3c, if it is 2 cent, then each pt is worth 2c. Multiply that value with the portion of your TYPs that are from BANKING PRODUCTs, that is the value shows on your 1099-MISC.
For those of us whose TYPs strictly came from CC earnings, 0 tax liability because they are NOT treated as interest earning.
Sometimes, it pays to spend time to read the fine prints of Ts and Cs so to avoid nasty surprises.
