Credit card points · Airline miles · Hotel points

You have the points. I find out what they can actually buy.

Tell me about your trip and roughly what you hold. I search award flights and hotel nights, then send you a written report with the exact steps to book it yourself.

What you get

A report you can book from, not a list of maybes

Every option I send is one I found in the search tools, with the time I saw it.

Real award options

Flight numbers, dates and times, or specific hotels and nightly rates.

Points and cash, side by side

What each option costs in points and in taxes and fees.

The cash price too

What the same trip costs paying cash, so you can see whether spending points is worth it.

Step-by-step booking

Which program to book through, what to transfer, and in what order.

How it works

Three steps, all in writing

  1. Tell me about the trip

    A short form: where, when, who's going, and roughly how many points you have. About five minutes.

  2. I do the searching

    I run your trip through paid award search tools and check it against the cash price.

  3. You book it yourself

    The report walks you through it. Your accounts, your booking, your control.

Flights and hotels

Most award services stop at the flight

I search hotels too, and that's often where points go further. A week of hotel nights can cost more than the flights to get there, and hotel award nights often get more value per point than an economy seat.

I work with points from:

  • Chase Ultimate Rewards
  • Amex Membership Rewards
  • Capital One
  • Citi ThankYou
  • Bilt
  • Wells Fargo Rewards
  • Any airline miles or hotel points you already have

Where it pays off

The more a trip costs in cash, the more there is to find

Two or more travelers

Every seat you cover with points multiplies the saving.

Long-haul trips

Long international fares leave the most room for points to beat cash.

Business or first

Premium cabins are where points tend to go furthest.

Several hotel nights

Longer stays give your points more room to work.

A short economy flight usually isn't worth it. Your card's travel portal already gives you about a cent a point on cheap fares, which leaves little for me to beat. I'd rather tell you that before you order.

Pricing

One flat fee per trip

You pay for the research, and the points stay yours. Taxes and fees on the booking are paid to the airline or hotel when you book.

Flights or hotels

$100per trip

Flights only, or hotels only, for one trip.

No logins, no card

You book in your own accounts. I never ask for your passwords or your card.

Full refund if nothing fits

If I can't find anything that meets your criteria, you get your money back.

Free re-run for 7 days

If a seat is gone before you book, I search again at no charge.

No calls needed

A short form in, a written report out. Read it and act on it when it suits you.

I can't promise your points will cover the whole trip. Often they cover a meaningful piece of it – the flights, a few nights, or one traveler's ticket – and the report shows exactly how far they go and what the rest would cost.

Ready when you are
