As someone who collects points, this is one of the easiest tools I've used. It doesn't just show good redemption options, it walks you through the booking process, making it much easier to actually use your points.
What needs improvement
It would be nice to have fare alerts or notifications when a better points redemption becomes available for a saved trip.
vs Alternatives
Booking directly through airline websites and using other award search tools, but ChainPoints made the process much simpler by combining the search with clear booking instructions.
Great tool to save money on international flights. I have recently booked my flight from DEL to NYC and it helped me use my CC points the perfect way!!! Recommend it to others
I have 17 credit cards and I've made every beginner points mistake there is. Most people can't tell what their points can actually buy, so the points sit there or get spent through the bank's travel site.
ChainPoints is a free Chrome extension that fixes that on Google Flights: every flight shows what it costs in the points you already have, and the cheapest way to book it. Real example: a $27,117 business class trip to Zurich for 142,000 points, v/s your bank portal costs you 2,700,000 points
