POINTS.ME - Has anyone used it?

[Shmueli]

Just stumbled upon this website https://www.point.me/.

Kinda like Google Flights for award tickets just a lot more complex.

You can put in which airlines / banks you have points with, dates, stopovers, seat class, etc.
It will spit out instructions on the best way to use your miles towards your trip.
They can also automatically keep track of how many points you have in your various accounts.

The only catch is that it's not free. Standard plan is $12 / month.
They also offer full concierge for $200 per passenger (insane in my opinion)

Has anyone used it?

Amex gave it for free for a while

[Alex1974]

I have an account.
It works 90%.
It uses most programs.

I believe you can access their search engine free via the Bilt Rewards app.

[can]

it is pretty useful and easy to use but it is not fool proof and have to know if it's worth $12/month.

Though rhat only shows the bilt rewards transfer partners.

I just signed up for $1 for the first month around a week ago. (obviously, the day before Bilt rolled out their limited version of it, which would've suited what I needed it for free.)

What do you think of it?

Very Sloooow, takes for ever to load

But once it does load, does it give you creative options?
Does it really know the ins and outs, or does it just spit out simple elementary grade flight options?

elementary, never taught me anything new, just spits it out on one page which is convenient....

[LongTimeLurker]

It's useful but it doesn't know the more esoteric options. But if you're doing mostly bread and butter type transfers it makes life easier

[tavster]

It's a useful tool. Not worth $12 IMHO
Bilt gives it for free, although it limits the results to bilt transfer partners

Depends on how you value your time. If it saves you a few hours searching  5 different airlines and you make more then 12/hr probably worth it

I hear you.
My two concerns are how long point.me takes to deliver results, we're talking about 2 minutes per date etc. And the fact that they tend to miss some award.
So i would consult them but it's not instead of my traditional research.

They also don't give the option to search "nyc". You have to wait 2 minutes for jfk, ewr & lga.

Whenever I have a situation like that, I just duplicate the tab x 10 (right click tab, duplicated) and then search all my routes / dates at once so they can all load at the same time..
I assume that would work with this as well?
