No. 128 GB iPad costs $430. 0.75 cents per point is roughly half what UA points are worth
Merch is never a good points redemption.
Not a good idea OH PEE
A2, you're bad at math.
D1 you're telling me I should never redeem my skypesos for fancy delta wine and peanuts? 😨
Not worth it at all
No
In general, redeeming miles for other than award ticket is a terrible idea
I think each mile is 10 cents, not 75 cents. Considering 99% of miles are not redeemed, getting 430$ today for the miles worth 570$ is better than a future possibility of 570$.
What's the conversion rate for united miles to dollar value?
No
I would do it you're always going to be flying but shit that you want doo
If it's the 12.9", sure. I assume you're talking about a 9.7 though, which you can get at Costco for $400-650, depending on chip and cell antenna. 57k is conservatively pegged at $850, and could be worth >$1,000 with a really stellar redemption.
