Questions, answered
How the tools work, what is saved, how we use valuations and where to verify important details.
Does this site book travel or transfer my points?
No. It is an independent planning resource. Calculators use your inputs and the dated reference data shown. Book and transfer only through the relevant official program.
Are the point valuations official?
No. Preset cents-per-point values are illustrative planning assumptions. You can edit them. Judge a redemption against a cash alternative you would actually purchase, including fees and any benefits you give up.
Is a higher cents-per-point result always better?
Not necessarily. A theoretical premium-cabin price can inflate the result. Time, flexibility, availability, travel preferences and cash you would genuinely spend are part of the decision.
Do I need an account?
No. The tools work without an account. You can explicitly save supported plans on this browser and export a backup. Nothing here connects to a loyalty or bank account.
Where are saved plans stored?
Only in this browser’s local storage after you choose Save. A different browser or device will not see them. Clearing site data can delete them. Do not enter passwords, full card numbers or membership credentials.
Do you sell or receive my saved balances?
The planners do not send your saved balances to our server. The website host still processes ordinary page requests, and the optional translation widget connects to its provider. See the privacy and methods pages.
Why is Alaska shown as Atmos Rewards?
The current program is Atmos Rewards. We keep the former Mileage Plan name in search and a legacy guide link so readers can find the updated information.
Why are there multiple Chase-to-Hyatt routes?
Card type and application timing affect the announced transfer ratio. Select the route that matches your account and transfer date, then confirm the preview in your issuer account before transferring.
Are comparison-table welcome offers live?
No. They are dated public-offer snapshots. Personalized, targeted and product-version offers can differ. The issuer’s offer shown when you apply controls. The comparison highlights offers that need rechecking after the review window.
Can I rely on the status planner to confirm qualification?
No. It models the thresholds and conditions entered. Only the loyalty program can confirm qualifying activity and status. The tool supports alternative routes and combined requirements, plus custom targets when a preset is not verified.
Why is there no automatic United status preset?
We could not verify the current numerical requirements from the interactive official page during this build. Rather than publish an assumed number, the planner offers a custom program option and the official qualification link.
Does a newsletter form subscribe me?
A subscription is only available when this site links to a configured hosted signup service. Until then, use the public updates page or RSS feed. Opening an email draft is not a subscription.
How should I value card credits?
Use the amount you would otherwise spend and can realistically redeem, not the advertised cap. Do not count the same lounge visit or purchase credit twice across cards. The fee tool compares with a realistic alternative.
What should I do if I find outdated information?
Open the source beside the data, verify the change, and use Contact to send the page, source and correction. The review date describes our last check, not a promise that terms cannot change.
