The 4-question playbook
Run every program below through these four questions before you click buy. Each step deep-links to the Pointify tool that gives you the answer.
Most carriers and chains discount points 25–125% at least 3-4 times a year. A 100% bonus literally halves your cost — never buy at standard rates if a promo is live for the same program.
Open the live bonus trackerTake the standard cost, divide by (1 + bonus%), then multiply by the points needed for your target award. That number is what this booking actually costs you in dollars — not the airline's headline price.
Run it through the calculatorPull up the same flight or stay in cash. If your effective points cost is not at least 1.5x cheaper than retail, the points buy is dead money — wait, transfer, or just pay cash.
Compare on Pointify SearchChase UR, Amex MR, Capital One, Citi, and Bilt all transfer 1:1 to dozens of programs. The same award is often 30–60% cheaper through a bank transfer than buying mileage directly. Check the route before you click buy.
