Introduction
Determining the value of your Eurobonus points can be tricky. Reward programs are made to give the impression that you are receiving a lot of value, even though this is often not the case. In this post, you will find a calculator to quickly and easily determine the value of your points. An explanation of how they work is given in the paragraphs below.
Finding the best EuroBonus Deal
The value of a Eurobonus deal differs greatly depending on how you spend it. In general, inland flights are the best deal, especially if you have an inland connecting flight. Flights within Europe and flights outside of Europe generally offer less value. Paying partially with points always provides the least value. So always try to save up to pay for the complete flight with points if you can.
EuroBonus Value Calculator
In general, a value of 0.015 EUR (0.018NOK) per point is very good, while a value of 0.005 EUR (0.059NOK)or less is considered bad.
Fill in your Flight Price, the Booking Fee and the required Points Used to determine the exact value!
How the EuroBonus Exchange Calculator Works
The value of your EuroBonus points depends on this simple formula:
(Flight Price – Booking Fee) ÷ Points Used
This formula gives you the monetary value of each point. For example:
- A flight costing €84.28 with a booking fee of €20.02, requiring 5,000 points, has a point value of €0.0128 (or 0.15 NOK per point at a 12 NOK/EUR exchange rate).
- The examples in the first rows help to provide an indication of what a good value is.
Maximizing Your EuroBonus Points
Using the calculator, you can quickly spot the best and worst redemption deals. As a rule of thumb:
- Best Use: Flights with low booking fees and high flight costs relative to points (e.g., domestic Norway flights). Especially if you have an inland layover.
- Avoid: Partially paying with points, as it often yields poor value.
- Extras: Paying for extras with points can also be good value. For instance, you can pay with points for onboard Wi-Fi.
- Collecting: Use a credit card to collect Eurobonus Points.
- Share: Ask others to share their Eurobonus points with you by starting a point-sharing group.
Conclusion
Your EuroBonus points are a valuable currency—if used wisely. A value of 0.015 EUR per point is very good, while a value of 0.005 EUR or less is considered bad. With this calculator, you can easily determine the value of your points and ensure every redemption is worth it.
