In short

What is Nanvero Redemptions?

Nanvero Redemptions is a log of what you book with points, scored against what those points are worth to you. Enter the points and the cash price and Nanvero works out the value per point, then compares it with the rate you set for that program — Excellent, Good, Fair or Poor. It can take the points off your balance, import years of history by CSV, and compare points-and-cash options before you book.

Your rate, your verdict

Good for you, not for a chart.

A cent a point can be a great Hilton redemption and a poor one for Virgin. So Nanvero doesn't use a generic valuation: it compares what you got with the value you set for that program on Balance — Excellent from 130%, Good from 100%, Fair from 70%, Poor below that.

Before you book

Points or cash — which option wins?

When an airline offers the same seat for different mixes of points and cash, this works out the true cost of each and whether the points beat paying cash. In the app, the winner goes straight into your log. It's also a free tool of its own.

Redemptions · Points or cash

Which points-and-cash option is the best deal?

Airlines let you pay for the same seat with more points and less cash, or the reverse. Enter each option, tell us what a point is worth to you, and we’ll rank them by what the trip truly costs.

Option F — fewest points, most cash.

At 1¢ a point, the other points options ask for more points than they save in cash. This one leans on money and still beats the $1,100.00 cash fare by $107.80.

“Value / point” is what each option really returns per point — the cash you avoid by not paying the $1,100.00 fare, divided by the points spent. Above your 1¢ line the points beat spending them elsewhere; below it, cash is the smarter buy. 3 options cost more than the $1,100.00 cash fare — those burn points and overpay.

The first step — buying into points at all — matters most: if it already sits below your 1¢ value, keep your points and pay cash. Each step trades points for cash at the rate shown; the first that drops below your 1¢ value is where you should stop adding points.

After you book

Log it once. Nanvero remembers the rest.

Forward an award booking and it lands in Trips and Redemptions together — add the cash price and it's scored. Log one yourself and Nanvero can take the points off that program's balance: on by default for the last 30 days, off for older history your balance already reflects.

How a redemption is scored

Three steps, then a verdict that's yours.

  1. 01

    Set what a point is worth to you

    Give each program a value per point on Balance — or use the average of the redemptions you've already logged.

  2. 02

    Log a redemption

    Add the points and the cash price, import a batch by CSV, or send the winner from the Points or cash calculator.

  3. 03

    See the verdict

    Nanvero shows the value per point and how it compares with your own rate for that program, and keeps a points-weighted average.


Questions, answered.

It takes the cash price you'd have paid, subtracts any cash you still paid, and divides by the points — converted into your currency. For example, 110,000 points for a $4,620 fare is 4.2¢ per point.
