Using Miles for hotels

Question

I am using my united miles for hotels.

Is it worth to use $45k united miles on $149 hotel per night. 45k is for 2 nights.

Thanks.

Answer 1

If these point are from spending $45000, you first want to get a grip on the point value. In general, a point should be worth 1-2 cents each, i.e. $450 minimum, $900 max.

To trade for less than $450 value seems wrong.
