₹1.10 is our HOUSE value for a point — what a disciplined traveller actually clears, not the best redemption we have ever seen (₹2.20, the ceiling) and not the worst you can always fall back on (₹0.50, the floor). It is the number every route on this page is priced with.
The mark has 2 dated points in data/valuation-history.yaml, each one pinned to a quantified event in the tracker — no interpolation. The last move was re-marked 10 Jul. How we value a point →

- 1 Jul 2026Atmos Rewards raises the partner-award booking fee 60% to $20US$12.50 per person, per direction, on every partner award booking → US$20 per person, per direction, for bookings made on or after 1 July 2026 (announced early June 2026 when Atmos updated its site)
Alaska's Atmos Rewards quietly raised its partner-award booking fee from $12.50 to $20 per person each way — a 60% jump on the surcharge that rides every Qatar, Cathay, JAL or Oman Air redemption our board prices through Atmos. It's still small money next to the miles (about ₹1,700 a head each way), and Atmos continues not to pass fuel surcharges on most partners, so the program's core India play — Gulf and one-stop long-haul on QR metal — survives intact. But it's the second fee Atmos has touched since the rebrand, and the direction of travel is the story: the old Alaska habit of being the cheap, generous outlier is being trimmed one line item at a time.
