The Upgrade Blueprint
Your bank will happily buy your points back at the floor. A good redemption is worth several times that. Put in what you hold and see the gap you are sitting on.

Floor and peak values are my own working benchmarks, last reviewed 7 September 2026. The floor is the worst common redemption: Amex statement credit at 0.45p, Avios to Nectar at 0.5p. Hotel points have no cash-out at all. The peak is what a well-chosen redemption returns, and it is not guaranteed. Points valuations are opinion, not fact, and programmes devalue without warning. Always check current rates before you commit.
