The amount was calculated as follows: $30,000 in expenses per year equalling 45,000 reward points, which is equivalent to more than $350 in electronic gift cards ($100 for every 12,500 points) or travel discounts ($100 for every 12,000 points), $250 refund on travel fees and two visits to the Lounge with a guest ($48.29 plus taxes per person).
