Al Safwa is pretty nice if a little sterile. I definitely enjoyed my time there but it is sparse.
In my opinion you should also include the costs of the points and miles… acquiring them carry the cost of annual fees or Plastiq fees, for example, unless 100% of the points come from actual swipes that translate into goods or services. Even MS has its costs…
It’s minuscule at best. I’ve been churning for 5 years (probably 3-4 million airline miles redeemed). I’ve only spent $3000 on fees. I don’t use plastiq. My MS techniques have no cost (other than time 😉
This is a good point and while I do have records of all the fees somewhere, it would be a laborious exercise to match every redemption to the fees that were paid to earn those points, especially when you’re earning and burning consistently over time.
I know some people prefer to go through the trouble and figure out exactly how many “real dollars” a trip has cost, but for me, I’m happy as long as I know I’m getting significantly outsized value compared to not using points.
Good topic for a future discussion post, actually.
Can you also post total redemption miles used to accompany $ spent? Tia
