About Your Cost Per Mile
Your Cost Per Mile reflects what you actually paid per mile, but only for miles that had a direct cash cost. Miles earned through everyday spending (credit cards, shopping portals, organic earn) and through promotions or transfers count as free. The only miles with a real cost are those bought directly from the airline, or acquired through paid subscriptions or mile-boosting tools. Your Points Manager Spreadsheet (Module 3) calculates this automatically.
