Why 1.2¢
We value United MileagePlus at 1.20¢ each, based on the middle of 5 publishers' estimates (The Points Guy, NerdWallet, One Mile at a Time, Upgraded Points and Frequent Miler). Airline programs price awards with fares that change, so this is a realistic everyday redemption rather than a best-case one.
