Miles & Points Airline Transfer Partner Search Tool
This tool will take all the guess work and confusion out of your award flight search. Based on the points currency you have and the airline you want to travel, it will present you with all your search options. Once you complete your search and enter the points prices, it is going to highlight the best award option for you based on the cents per point calculation.
Below are the supported credit card point currencies:
- American Express Membership Rewards Points
- BILT Rewards
- Chase Ultimate Rewards
- Capital One Venture Miles
- Citi Thank You Points
Step-by-Step instructions are included in the sheet.
This tool is going to help you accomplish two things:
- Based on the points currency you have and the airline you want to fly, it is going to tell you where you can find award availability. This is done by leveraging airline alliances and partnerships.
- Once you find award flights on different programs mentioned in the previous step, you will have to write down the points rate you see on each. It is then going to calculate the Cents Per Point Rate (CPP) for each option and highlight the best option in green.
What this tool DOES NOT do:
- This tool does not actually find award flights. It merely tells you where you MIGHT be able to find the flight you are looking for. You then have to go to each partner airline's award program and search for your flight.
- This tool does not transfer or book any flights for you. Once you see the best option in the final step, you have to transfer your points from your bank to your airline loyalty account and complete your booking.
Additional Tips To Consider:
- Be flexible with dates by at least ± 5 days. That is going to greatly increase your chances of finding a good deal on an award flight.
- Not all award availability is released to partners. It is possible there may be no availability on the dates that you have selected. (Even though there is cash fare availability as per google flight)
- Your best chances of finding a good deal are either far out in advance ( 9+ months before travel ) or last minute (< 1 month before travel )
- If there is not availability from your home airport, try to look for availability from major airports nearby and position your self there.
