About Point Strategist

Point Strategist is a loyalty points optimizer. Enter your credit card and travel reward balances, tell it where you want to go, and it finds the best redemptions — ranked by cents-per-point value.

The platform tracks real-time valuations for all major loyalty programs: Chase Ultimate Rewards, Amex Membership Rewards, Citi ThankYou Points, Capital One Miles, United MileagePlus, Delta SkyMiles, American AAdvantage, Southwest Rapid Rewards, Marriott Bonvoy, and Hilton Honors.

Most people leave thousands of dollars in unclaimed value sitting in loyalty accounts because the redemption landscape is genuinely confusing. Transfer partners, award charts, sweet spots, dynamic pricing — the complexity is intentional on the airlines' and hotels' part. Point Strategist cuts through it.

Who built this

Point Strategist was founded in 2015 and is operated by Connecticode LLC, a software company based in Connecticut.

The team behind the guides

Each writer and researcher behind Point Strategist has personally been earning, tracking, and redeeming credit card points and airline miles for more than twenty years. We've watched award charts come and go, burned points on overwater bungalows, transferred rewards into nearly every partner on the chart, and learned the hard way which "sweet spots" actually survive real-world award searches. Every article is published under our editorial byline — the Point Strategist Editorial Team. See our editorial standards for how we research and correct our guides.
