How do you decide when to use your miles? I have a trip to Vegas next month and thinking of using my delta miles instead of paying cash because it’s so expensive. It’s the first time I’ll have enough miles to use for the whole trip. Any tips are welcome.

Any situation I’m getting a decent cent per point/mile value and I don’t want to pay cash. Airline miles and hotel points can get devalued at any moment, so no use in hoarding them. Generally 1.5 cpp is my minimum for Delta domestic.
