1. Makes sense. I have no idea how you can communicate that intrinsically in the data. Your explanation here would make a good landing page copy.
2. I was looking at this page (https://www.points411.com/p/chase-ultimate-rewards/). The heading on the first data column is "Exchange Rate (Point/Mile)" which I took to mean "Points per Mile", but now I'm realizing you meant "Point OR Mile". So that means 10 Chase points will get me 8 Amazon... "points"?
This is still a little weird, because I don't think I've ever heard of Amazon having "points". It's all just dollars. The useful ratio would be "100pt:80¢". I want to know how much money (or how many miles) my points are worth. I don't think I've ever seen a redemption at 2¢ per point, so the 20¢:8¢ thing doesn't help me in isolation. It only helps when comparing to other Chase:XXXXX ratios.
One idea: Instead of listing all ratios in common units on both sides of the ":", let the user select what they have and what they want. Something like:
I HAVE ([]points []miles) AND WANT ([]points []miles []dollars)
and list all the exchange rates only in the terms selected.
Different question: How do you determine the value of points in the first place? If the best I can do with my Chase points is 1.7¢ at Hyatt, then what can I do to get 2¢ of value from them? Some internal shopping thing?
Thanks for taking the time!
