It’s a decent deal - you can get higher value for the points on a big international flight if you transfer them. If you have no plans to do that, 1.5/1 isn’t bad :)

That’s a good deal

Matches the 1.5 cpp floor that you would get in the portal. Not bad, but also not the ceiling of value

I general try not to spend my points for less than 2x value (airline or hotel transfer partners), but if you don’t have any travel plans it’s probably a safe purchase.
