Points and miles,
minus the guesswork
AwardHack started as one person's obsession with figuring out if a redemption was actually a good deal. It's grown into a set of tools that price award flights, track your card benefits, and tell you what your points are really worth, used by 100,000+ people a month.
Award Flight Pricer
See what an award seat actually costs, across 20+ programs, before you transfer a single point.
Award pricing is a mess. Because of airline alliances, the exact same seat on the exact same flight can cost wildly different amounts of miles depending on which program books it. Add in dynamic pricing, and static award charts stop meaning much.
Same seat, different price:
A JFK to HND ANA Business Class seat runs 47,500 miles through ANA Mileage Club, 60,000 through Virgin Atlantic, 75,000 through Air Canada Aeroplan, or 110,000+ through United MileagePlus.
The Pricer checks all of these at once, flags hidden carrier surcharges, and shows you the cheapest route in, so you know exactly where to send your points before you send them.
Benefits Tracker
Stop letting your annual fee's credits quietly expire unused.
Premium cards charge steep annual fees and try to offset them with a scattered pile of credits: $10 a month for Uber, $100 a quarter for Resy, a $750 hotel credit once a year. Banks are counting on you forgetting to use them before they reset.
Add your cards and their anniversary dates once. Benefits Tracker builds out the full credit calendar, ranks what's expiring soonest, and pings you before you lose it, turning forgotten credits back into real cash.
It also keeps a running net annual fee for your whole wallet, so you can actually tell which cards are earning their keep and which ones you should cancel.
Transfer Tools
Time your transfers right. You only get to send points once.
Point transfers are one-way, so guessing wrong is expensive. Our Active Transfer Bonuses index tracks live 20-30% bonus promotions, and the AI Bonus Predictor uses past patterns between specific bank and airline pairs to estimate when the next one lands, like an 84% odds of an Amex to British Airways 30% bonus within 45 days.
We also track how fast each bank to loyalty program pipeline actually moves. Some transfers land instantly, some take 48 hours, and that gap can be the difference between grabbing a seat and watching it disappear to someone else.
Points Valuation
Know what your balance is actually worth, not what the bank says it's worth.
Points aren't cash. Programs devalue their charts constantly, so treating a balance as a fixed number is a mistake. AwardHack assigns every program a real cents-per-point value based on current data, so you know what you're actually sitting on.
For example, 150,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points at our current benchmark of 2.10 cents each works out to about $3,150.
That number changes how you redeem. Our Points vs. Cash calculator compares a ticket's cash price against what it costs in points, so you never cash out points for less than they're worth, and flags balances before they expire.
There's plenty more in the toolkit
Card recommendations that respect real bank rules like Chase's 5/24, a lounge finder covering 2,600+ locations, elite status calculators, a visa checker, and an award release calendar.
See all ToolsWhat is AwardHack?
A set of free and paid tools for people trying to get real value out of credit card points, airline miles, and hotel rewards. It started as a side project built to answer one question: is this redemption actually worth it? It's grown from there.
How does AwardHack handle dynamic pricing in airline award charts?
Static award charts are mostly useless now. The Award Flight Pricer checks real-time data across 20+ airline programs and shows exactly which transfer partner gets you the cheapest seat with the lowest carrier-imposed surcharges. Our Award Release Calculator tracks when those seats actually open up.
Can AwardHack predict when a transfer bonus will happen?
Yes. The AI Bonus Predictor looks at past transfer bonus history between the major banks (Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi) and their airline partners, and estimates the odds and timing of the next one. Use the Flight Creditor to figure out which programs actually connect to your cards.
How do I calculate if a redemption is a good deal?
AwardHack gives every point balance a benchmark cents-per-point value. Compare that against the ticket's cash price and you know right away whether you're coming out ahead. Run the numbers with the Points vs Cash calculator.
What is the benefit of crediting flights to partner airlines?
Because of airline alliances like Oneworld, SkyTeam, and Star Alliance, crediting a paid ticket to a partner program often earns you more redeemable miles than crediting it to the airline you actually flew. The Flight Creditor automates that math. Check fees first with our Baggage Fee Lookup tool.
