Points Guy puts an Amex point at 2c/point, so 45M points is worth about $900k.

Years and years ago my dad had a client who would pay his multi-million dollars bills quarterly using his Amex Black. Would then use the points annually to fly himself + wife to Paris on the Concorde.

Wow that is genius

at minimum .6c per point if it’s a direct cash out.

average in the travel portal for hotel/flights about .1c per point.

but if transferred to transfer partners and used for flights that way could be looking anywhere from .2c per point up to like .20 cents per point on first class trips on Qatar and stuff

Probably about two cents per view
