Keep in mind the profit margin on first class seats is insane - their cost to provide a "$12k" trip was probably more like $1-2k. There's a reason you can get crazy amounts of miles via sign up bonuses, but you never see a cash back award much above $500 (and those are usually for business cards with high minimum spends).

- randomacct3847 8y agoYes, I mean I don't personally value a first class trip at $12k (e.g. would never pay for it out of pocket), but it's fun to be able to experience the very best in air travel at almost no cost every one in awhile. I do value business class, though, and happy that I can redeem points over paying for it out of pocket. There is a joy in actually being able to lie flat and sleep on a 11-14 hour flight to Asia or Europe and feel rested when you arrive vs feeling sore/cramped/and jet lagged for the first 2 days of your trip!
