However, there are some handy tools out there that can keep you from spending hours searching for award space with a whole bunch of different airline or loyalty programs. Here are a few that the TPG staff uses when searching for award space: [Point.me]( is a popular tool that looks at dozens of frequent flyer programs. It’ll show you the best options for your points and travel itinerary. And, though you typically have to pay for a membership or daypass, the company recently launched a [partnership with American Express]( to provide a complimentary version for cardmembers. Last fall, I tried out [Roame.travel]( which similarly searches for flight award space based on what type of credit card points and/or airline miles you have. The site won a 2023 TPG Award for Best New Travel Service. Points Path is [a free web browser extension]( that shows award rates next to cash prices in Google Flights for many of the major airlines and indicates which is the better deal for each one-way or round-trip itinerary. Plus, Southwest Airlines fares were just added to Google Flights. On the hotel side, some TPG staff members swear by [Max My Point]( which tracks hotel award availability at the big U.S. programs — including World of Hyatt, Hilton Honors and Marriott Bonvoy. You can check your ideal dates and see how many points per night you’d pay with various programs. Want to learn more?
