File Nº 09 — Portugal Tools

Work out what your points are actually worth.

No signup, no email gate, nothing stored. Put in a balance and a programme and you get a range — conservative, typical, optimal — rather than one confident number, because that is the honest shape of the answer.

*every figure on this page is quoted in EUR and priced from the valuations we publish — where we have no valuation, the tool says so instead of guessing.

Tool i — Calculator

What is a point actually worth?

Pick a programme, enter a balance, and read the three figures. Each one is quoted in that programme's own currency, and the rate behind it is on the same line.

Editorial estimate. TAP Miles&Go publishes no fixed value for its points, and we hold no source for these rates — they are our judgement, in c per point. Treat the range, not any one figure, as the answer.

Tool ii — Assessment

The gap between a flat card and the best rates.

Set your monthly spending. The headline number and the table beneath it come from one calculation, so they agree by construction.

No verified earn rates yet

We have not yet checked a single category earn rate for Portugal against an issuer’s own page, so this assessment has nothing honest to compare. It used to show a table of “best published rates” here; the ones we could check were wrong, so it is gone until each rate carries its source.

Questions

About these numbers

Where do the point valuations come from?

For every programme on this page, the figures are our own editorial estimates: we have not quoted them from any programme's page, we hold no source for them, and the calculator labels every one as an estimate. We give a conservative, a typical and an optimal figure because what a point is worth depends on how you redeem it — treat the range, not any one figure, as the answer.

What happens when a figure is not published?

The tools say so instead of filling the gap. In the calculator, a tier the programme's page does not state reads "Not published" — it is never shown as zero or borrowed from the tier beside it. In the assessment, a category with no verified earn rate counts for nothing and is labelled as such, and if no category can be priced the result reads "Not available". A blank is more useful than a number we cannot stand behind.

What does the Points Assessment actually measure?

Nothing yet, for this country. The assessment only prices a spending category where we hold an earn rate quoted from a card issuer's own product page, and we have not verified one here yet — so it shows no figure rather than an unsourced one.

Why is a programme priced in a different currency to my page?

Marriott Bonvoy is valued in USD, not in EUR. Where that happens the calculator says so and quotes the figure in USD, and the Points Assessment leaves it unpriced. We do not convert it, because we publish no exchange rate and inventing one would make the number look more precise than it is.

Do you store anything I enter?

No. Every tool on this page runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to a server, no result is emailed, and no address is collected.
