1 point is always worth 1 cent (cash-out or shopping). Anything below is worse than cash. Converting 1:1 to Miles & More (from 200 points) only pays off if you redeem the miles for more than 1 cent. 1–2 times a year there is a 25–30% transfer bonus.

How it works

Value = (cash price − fees − value of miles you would have earned) ÷ miles used. We compare the result in cents per mile with the program’s reference value. The traffic light shows whether you get more or less than usual. Values are guides from the sources listed, not guarantees. Miles you cannot redeem are worth €0. US valuations converted at the ECB rate of 25 Sep 2026 (US$1 = €0.877).
