[QUOTE="Josh F, post: 625263, member: 96"] I'm not sure why pretty much everyone, including Southwest, calculates the cpm like this, as I think you should factor in the fact that you definitely save on taxes/fees. I just redeemed for T-Day travel at 1.61 and 1.64 cents, but before the latest "deval" I was getting 1.65 - 1.70. If you want to get into the fact that you lose out on earning points, that's another factor I suppose, but doesn't "ruin" it that much. Here's how I calculate it (I picked 1 leg only). Fare is $246 OR 12,168 points + $49.60 (Jamaica Taxes/Fees suck). So, I've spent 12,168 points for $196.40 in savings = 1.61 cpm [/QUOTE]
