OnePass Miles -- Dramatic Increase in Value
WOW. I'm so excited. 
CO will now allow us to give OnePass miles as a holiday gifts.
(Most recent News and Offers e-mail.)
The deal is $35 per 1000 miles. (Max 12k miles.)
Therefore, CO now values our OnePass miles at $0.035 each.
This is yet another increase in the value of our OnePass miles!
The previously-offered transfer option was $7.50 per 500 miles.
This valued our miles at $0.015 each.
This is an increase in value (ROI) of 133%.
I wish my IRA's performance was 1/3rd of this.
Safe travels and happy shopping to all!!!!!!

Don't confuse cost with value, if it takes 50,000 miles to get an SleazyPass reward that you can buy for a couple of hundred bucks your miles have a cash value of $.004

Whether the price is $25 or $35 per 1K miles why would anyone buy them when it's so easy to accumulate miles thru flying, shopping, dining, etc.

What worth?
How do you quantify the difficulty in redeeming the miles? To me CO miles are worth $.002

OnePass Miles -- Dramatic Increase in Value
Does it now require fewer NonePass miles for magazine subscriptions? Or, is the subscription term longer?

ROTLMAO!
Good luck with that plan.

Would it help if, in the holiday spirit, instead of the full asking price of $10,500, I'd sell it for $9,999.99 and offer free gift wrap?
PS to Billiken: On my refrigerator, we have a magnet that says "Tact is for those not witty enough to use sarcasm". We love it so much that when we moved, we put it with the silverware so we'd know where to find it. If I see it again, I'll buy you one and PM you.
