How points are valued

What a point is worth

Jarby values points in cents per point, shown as ¢/pt. For each program, Jarby uses the first of these that is set:

• Your override: a value you typed in for that program.
• Program data: the value Jarby holds for the program.
• TPG est. or Face value: a built-in value for some programs. A TPG est. value shows the date it was estimated.
• Otherwise, 1¢ per point.

The value turns a point balance into dollars. Those dollars are the Value figures on Rewards.

1. Open the program

Open Rewards and choose the Programs tab. Tap the program's row.

2. Open Program settings

Tap the gear button at the top of the program panel. Its label is Program settings.

3. Type the value

In Point value · ¢ per point, type the cents. For example, 1.5 means each point is worth 1.5¢. A dollar figure appears beside the field. Changes save as you type, as the panel's subtitle says.

When the field is empty, its placeholder shows the value in use. The line beside the field reads realized and names the source. To go back to Jarby's value, tap Clear override. That link appears only when you have an override.

Cash back

Cash back is not valued in points. Jarby treats it at a fixed rate, so the cash back panel shows no ¢/pt figure.

Where values appear

• Rewards › Programs shows each program's Value ¢/pt and Value. The page also has a Balance value tile.
• Rewards › Cards shows Return ¢/pt on each card row on a computer; on a phone it appears under the card's name as "X.XX¢/pt return". That is the value per point used for the card.

These figures are estimates. For how the points themselves are counted, see How rewards are counted.
