If you would have paid for the coach-class ticket but use miles to get a premium-class ticket, then you need to value the premium-class ticket at the coach class price -- i.e., what you ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE PAID without miles.

I use a United Milageplus Visa and I only get 1 cent for every mile redeemed. The initial bonus of 21,000 miles is only worth $210; but the nice offer is that for 25,000 miles, you can take an inter-US flight, regardless of (saver ticket) So if the ticket costs more than $250, don't use the 1 cent per mile benefit, and use the saver ticket benefit. I hope to save enough for a round trip business class flight to New York on United Premium Service, SFO-JFK. What a great post!
