How Aventura points work, and why 1¢

We count Aventura points at 1¢ each, a typical value when you use them well. Depending on how you use them, they’re usually worth 0.63¢ to 2.3¢.

We set one value per points program and use it on every card in that program, so you can compare points cards and cash back cards on the same scale.

These are example budgets to compare cards side by side, not averages. Your own spending will give a different number.
