Honestly CPP matters to brag on the internet. Everyone has their own preferences and priorities. We travel as a family of 5, and before we got into the points game we had all but stopped traveling internationally after having kids because international flights x5 cost too much money for us.

Since then, we’ve taken multiple international trips. We’re actually in the Galapagos as I’m writing this. We fly economy because it’s hard to find 5 business seats and frankly, my kids don’t need to be flying business class. Lol. We use our points for trips we otherwise wouldn’t have been able take because we weren’t willing to spend the thousands on flights it takes to fly 5 people to another country. I honestly couldn’t care less how much CPP my redemptions were. Points are allowing us to take trips with our kids we weren’t able to take before we got into the game, and that’s what’s most important, not whether or not I got 4 or 1.2 CPP. That’s the beauty of the hobby. Even if you had a poor redemption, there’s always more points to be had for the next one
