You need 100 credit card points to equal a dollar in most cases, though it can vary based on the card issuer and the redemption method. For example, you could get a higher dollar value when you redeem your points for travel instead of a statement credit, and some major issuers’ points are worth less than average.
Number of Credit Card Points for $1 by Company
| Reward Program | Average Value of 1 Point | Number of Points to Equal a Dollar |
| 0.72 cents | 150 points | |
| 0.85 cents | 118 points | |
| 0.95 cents | 93 points | |
| 0.83 cents | 118 points | |
| 1.18 cents | 76 points | |
| 1 cent | 100 points |
It’s a good idea to redeem your points as often as possible, as there is always a chance of devaluation. This means a card issuer could make your points worth less when you redeem them than they are worth now.
