Cents per mile = (round trip cash midpoint × 100) ÷ round trip miles required. cpm is invariant under the trip-type toggle — only the absolute miles, cash and savings amounts change. Advantage cpm is roughly half Saver because the miles cost roughly doubles for the same seat. Miles and tax estimates as of April 2026.

Economy cash fares to Beijing are often lower than to Shanghai, so an economy award returns modest value per mile. Business fares run several times higher (above S$3,200 round trip), which is where redeeming miles tends to make the most sense on this route.
