    Frequently Asked
    Questions

    Get answers to common questions about Milesmate calculators and how to maximize your airline rewards.

    How does Milesmate calculate airline miles and Loyalty Points?

    Milesmate uses the latest airline earning charts and rules to show exactly how many status miles or Loyalty Points you'll earn for your flight. The calculator supports both revenue-based (price driven) and distance-based (miles flown × fare class) programs across major US carriers. Each result is broken down step by step so you can see base miles, cabin bonuses, and elite status multipliers.

    Which airline programs are supported by Milesmate?

    Milesmate currently covers the four largest U.S. airline programs: American Airlines AAdvantage®, Delta SkyMiles®, United MileagePlus®, and Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan®. Each calculator is tailored to that program's rules, so you'll see results that reflect how the airline actually credits miles and status points.

    Can I use Milesmate to decide if booking with miles or cash is a better deal?

    Yes. Milesmate's "Miles vs. Cash" tool compares the cash price of a ticket to the miles required and shows the cents-per-mile value you'd get. If the value is higher than our benchmarks (1.40¢ per mile for AAdvantage® mile for instance), it's usually a good redemption.
