* Rough estimate. Valuations are estimates.
Points valuations are subjective to your needs. Average of live valuations published by a number of sources (The Points Guy – Oct 2026, One Mile at a Time – Oct 2026, Upgraded Points – Oct 2026, Prince of Travel – Q2 2026; estimates* also use AwardFares – read 29 Oct 2026, Milesopedia – read 29 Oct 2026, SAA Voyager – read 29 Oct 2026).

Cost to buy: the lowest price for buying points direct from the programme, with live promotions in brackets.

A price is shown only when its source is current: High confidence means two independent current sources (or the programme’s own page) agree; Medium means one current source, or one current source plus an older list. Where only an old list exists the cell says “No current price found”. Offers marked “Unconfirmed” are not included in the price. Prices are best-tier and may need a minimum purchase or be targeted to specific accounts; hover a price to see each source and the date it was observed.
