Compare the point price to the $ price. If you are getting a redemption of 0.007$ per point, you are good. Less than that you may be better paying with cash

It’s the most commonly accepted fair valuation

Where are the best redemptions? Is it pretty standard across the globe that above $.007 is a good redemption for bonvoy?

I disagree with that. Cat 1 and Cat 2 properties can be a great value. For all categories, use the same math.

Yes, I was checking the same. Booking with corporate rate costed me $400 for 3 nights vs 120k points. I am going with cash option

Rough numbers says that’s a redemption rate of $.01, which sounds like a good value. Why go with cash? (Sincere question)

BCG1 that was it- thanks

Here’s how to withdraw your funds from FTX

Hedge Withdrawals

Open a position on FTX and an opposing position on another exchange (perhaps Binance for the irony) for the same financial exposure. If the position on FTX profits, keep trading. As the position on FTX experiences losses, the opposing position on the other exchange profits. Keep it up until you’ve depleted the funds on account at FTX the close your opposing position. You’ve successfully withdrawn funds using a hedge. You’re welcome.
