Sony points are worth 1 cent each, on average. For example, 10,000 Sony points have a dollar value of roughly $100. As a result, Sony points are less valuable than the average retail rewards points, which are valued at 2.19 cents each.
The exact value of Sony points ultimately depends on how they are redeemed. They have the most value when used for store credit, but there are other options. The easiest way to calculate the value of Sony points for any redemption method is to determine the dollar value of what you're redeeming for, minus any taxes and fees that you'll still have to pay, and then divide that amount by the number of points you're required to redeem. For your convenience, here's the formula for Sony points:
Dollar Value of Redemption Item / Number of Sony Points Needed = Sony Point Value
How to Earn More Sony Points
It's important to remember that while you can't change the redemption values of Sony points, you can increase the rate at which you earn them. One of the best ways to increase the number of Sony points that you earn is to apply for the Sony Visa® Credit Card.

read full answer by Maria Adams, Credit Cards ModeratorAre rewards points on credit cards worth it?
Rewards points on credit cards are worth it if the value that you get from them exceeds the costs associated with the card. In other words, the amount of rewards you earn in a year should outweigh both the annual fee and any other fees and interest charges that you pay on your transactions. Rewards points on credit cards are also only worth it if you actually take advantage of them and redeem them regularly.

You can calculate reward point values by dividing the dollar value of what you redeem points for by the number of points required to get that product or service. This will leave you with the value of a single reward point. For example, if a $500 plane ticket costs 40,000 points, that means each point is worth 1.25 cents when redeemed for airfare.
