ChainPoints

About the startup

Booking a flight with points should be simple. Instead it means ten open tabs, transfer ratios that change constantly, and hours of math, so most people give up and cash their points out for pennies. ChainPoints fixes that. Install the Chrome extension, add your cards once, and search for a flight in Google Flights exactly like you always do. Right there on each result, ChainPoints shows you the cheapest way to book that exact seat with the points you already have. Same seat, often 2 to 5 times cheaper than paying cash. We do the math, you travel. KEY FEATURES - Works right inside Google Flights. No new site to learn. Search like you always do, and the answer appears on the flight in front of you. - Reads your real wallet. Add your cards, airlines, and hotels once, and it only shows routes you can actually book with the points you own. - Multi-hop transfer routing. It chains transfers across programs (for example Amex to Marriott to an airline) to find cheaper routes you would never spot by hand. - Live transfer bonuses built in. When a program is running a bonus, it factors that into the math automatically. - Know what your points are really worth. See the true value of a balance before you burn it, so you never redeem for pennies again. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT Most tools make you leave Google Flights and solve just one piece, usually finding award seats. ChainPoints is the only one that does all four at once: reads the points you actually own, chains transfers across programs, shows the answer inside Google Flights, and applies live transfer bonuses. Even Frequent Miler, read by more than a million people a month, tested seven of these tools and concluded "no single tool is enough." That gap is exactly what ChainPoints closes. WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT - 2 to 5 times more value from the same points. A point cashed out is worth about a penny. Moved to the right airline it is worth 2 to 5 times more. - Hours to minutes. In testing, per-trip research dropped from about five hours of manual searching to roughly 40 minutes. - Routes you would never find alone. One traveler wanted Chicago to Japan. Through the bank portal it would have cost around 190,000 points. The right route was 25,000 points, for a seat priced at $1,900. - Real money saved. A doctor asked me to check a UK trip for his family. Same seats, same dates, using points he already had, the route came in over $17,000 under the cash fare. - Americans are sitting on an estimated $92 billion in points they never use. ChainPoints puts that hidden value in front of normal travelers, not just the experts who spent years learning the game. New users get 1 month of Pro free. No credit card, no catch. Install it, add your cards, and search like you normally would. It does the rest.
