Aeroplan, MBNA, and American Express Coablt Points Value

In trying to determine if I should spend some of my credit card rewards points, or convert them to Aeroplan points, I did some quick evaluations on their websites. Came up with the following information:

Aeroplan Points

When redeemed for flights, have a value of about $0.0125 each.
When redeemed for hotels, have a value of about $0.011 each.

American Express Cobalt Points

Can be redeemed for cash at $0.01 each.

MBNA Reward Points

Can be redeemed for cash at $0.0083 each.
Options for redeeming for gift cards have a slightly better value.

Of course, this doesn’t address other factors such as how fast you can accumulate points based on the same spending. But that’s for a later evaluation.
