Had an EU flight cancelled by United (me and my wife). Would you rather:
1/ $1230 cash (1200 euro) 2/ 100k United miles or 3/ $2000 United credit?
No immediate longhair trips planned but we typically fly biz when we can on miles.

1 or 3, depending on your confidence you could use 3

like

Agreed with D1 - miles usually convert closer to .01/mile, sometimes a bit higher. Would go 3 if you were confident you would use in the next ~12 months. Otherwise 1

like

I would pick 3 as you can sell it for atleast $1350 (assuming it’s ETC that you can use it for others)

like

If you pick 3, I'll buy it from you for $1400.
