How It Works

This calculator converts a credit card sign-up bonus into its real dollar value based on how you redeem points.

  • Bonus dollar value = Bonus points x Point value (in cents) / 100
  • Effective return rate = Bonus value / Minimum spend x 100%
  • First-year value includes the annual fee if not waived.
