any can someone explain what the hell frequent flyer miles actually are? if i were to have say 10,000 miles, does that mean i could book a roundtrip to vegas and back for free and still have miles leftover? (roundtrip to vegas is ~4k miles for me). i assume that's not the case as it seems too good to be true?
edit:
look at my answering my own questions like a good boy.Frequent-flyer program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Travelers frequently debate on how much accumulated miles are worth, something which is highly variable based on how they are redeemed. A typical ballpark figure is approximately 1-2 cents per mile based on discount (rather than full fare) economy class travel costs.[5]
The airlines themselves value miles in their financial statements at less than one one-thousandth of a cent per mile.[6]
