Is Miles + Cash always a bad strategy? (Counterexample of CX flight in post)
I have around 14k CX miles and have no use of these points for a long while. I was just curious to check what is the cash value of these points if I book a flight. I added some sample return dates from YVR to DEL and the cash price was 2137 CAD. However, when I apply my 14k CX miles, the price is now 1129 CAD + 14k miles ( A whopping 1k CAD discount). I think this is an excellent counterexample of using these points if not for yourself, then booking for a family member/friend
