What is Miles vs Cash?

Miles vs Cash is a comparison often made in the context of credit card rewards or airline loyalty programs. When you use a credit card or participate in an airline loyalty program, you often have the option to earn rewards in the form of miles or cash back. Miles are points that you can use towards the purchase of airline tickets or upgrades. The value of these miles can vary greatly depending on the airline, the flight, and the date. Cash back, on the other hand, is a percentage of your purchases that you get back as cash. This can either be credited to your account or sent to you as a check. The choice between miles and cash back depends on your personal preferences and travel habits. If you travel frequently, you might get more value from earning miles. If you don’t travel often, cash back might be more beneficial.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Cash} = \frac{1000 \times 0.01}{500 \times 1} = 0.02 \text{ dollars} \]

The Cash Value is $0.02.
