Frequent Miler’s latest team challenge, 100K Vacay, is done. The goal (which was handily achieved) was to create an incredible vacation with 100,000 transferable points and a $1,000 budget. And that budget had to account for everything from flights to lodging to meals to local transportation to entry fees to… You get the idea. You […]| Frequent Miler

Booking hotels with airline miles is almost always an awful value, even when there is a “deal” to do so. You’re almost always getting very low value per mile, particularly if you’re comparing not just to the price shown on the airline booking platform but the lowest price you can find elsewhere for the same […]| Frequent Miler

Update 7/28/25: JetBlue sent the following email to cardholders late last week announcing that their loyalty partnership with TAP Air Portugal will end on 9/30/25. The last day to earn or redeem TrueBlue points with TAP Air Portugal flights is 9/30/25. That was disappointingly short-lived. Our previous post about this partnership follows.

When Roame debuted it was amazing. While point.me was the first tool to offer user friendly flight award searches across many airline loyalty programs, Roame was the first to do it so that results came back quickly. Soon after its debut, though, tools like PointsYeah and AwardTool eclipsed Roame with better features (such as email […]| Frequent Miler

Gondola is a free tool designed to make it easy to find hotels that offer the best value for your points or for cash. In the short time I’ve spent with it, it has already become my go-to tool for hotel trip-planning. I love that it not only shows cents per point for each hotel […]| Frequent Miler
When I first wrote about Seats.Aero (see: Seats.aero: a wonderfully nerdy tool for finding Unicorn flight awards), it was one of a kind. Unlike other award search tools, Seats.Aero does most of its work in-advance and then makes it fast and easy to find awards that would have been near impossible to find otherwise. For […]| Frequent Miler
Rove Miles debuted earlier this year and bills itself as the first universal airline mile. While that specific claim seems a bit boisterous considering the plethora of transferable points currencies on the market, this is nonetheless a platform that can be worth using, particularly for booking paid hotel stays or for its shopping portal given […]| Frequent Miler
We recently spent a night at AutoCamp Catskills using a Hilton Free Night Certificate.

It’s possible to fly economy class to Hawaii for 10,000 miles, or fly business class to Europe for as few as 34,000 miles, or fly business class to South Africa for 75,000 miles.

PointsYeah is one of my favorite award search tools. It’s fast and user friendly. It offers both flight and hotel searches, and alerts, across a wide selection of loyalty programs. And it does all of this for free. The paid version adds wider date ranges, multiple airports, and more alerts. Since this post was last […]| Frequent Miler
Around 2019, a new award search tool called Juicy Miles was introduced. It was amazing because it was the first ever user-friendly tool that let users search for award flights across multiple loyalty programs in the same way they were used to searching for paid flights. Juicy Miles eventually was rebuilt as point.me. It was […]| Frequent Miler
