Congrats on the launch! Curious how you fit into the landscape of award travel tolls like point.me and seats.aero. What are you doing differently & who’s your target user?
Thanks! In our view, the more tools, the better to help educate and bring more people into the points world.
We're focused on the beginner points user and helping them through the learning curve of points. Want people to use our engine to book their first ever business class flight.
In terms of product, we provide 365 days of free real-time search across all the loyalty programs we cover and any fare class.
How are you going to deal with the fact that airlines don't want more people in the points world? (Or at least, they don't want people finding inexpensive redemptions, which cost them money.)
The fundamental reason that it's hard to find cheap redemptions is that the economic incentives are aligned against cheap redemptions existing in the first place. Airlines want the revenue stream from points to be as high as possible, and the redemption rate to be as low as possible.
