Frequently asked questions
Is it really free to get started?
Yes. Award Travel AI calculators are always free, with no trial or subscription required. Create a free account to save your points. For award flight availability, connect your eligible Seats.aero account. Seats.aero fees and access requirements are separate.
Can I combine Amex, Chase and other credit card points?
You can often transfer points from different eligible cards to the same airline or hotel loyalty account. For example, Amex and Chase both transfer to Air Canada Aeroplan. The calculator shows each eligible contribution and adds your existing Aeroplan balance. It does not transfer points between banks or move points for you. Partner and account-owner rules still apply.
Are transfer bonuses included?
Reviewed public offers are included automatically while active, with the bonus percentage and expiration date displayed. Targeted or unverified offers need account-level confirmation. Check the issuer’s final rate and exact deadline before transferring.
Do I need Seats.aero to use the calculator?
No. Your points wallet and transfer calculator work without Seats.aero. For award flight availability, sign in and connect your eligible Seats.aero account, or sign up through our affiliate link. Seats.aero fees and access requirements are separate. Hotel searches require Seats.aero Pro. Search coverage and provider limits apply.
Does a points total mean I can book that flight?
A calculator result shows what your points could become in a loyalty program. It is not a flight price or confirmed availability. Search for your dates, confirm enough seats, taxes and fees directly with the airline, then decide whether to transfer. Availability can change.
Can I plan with my spouse or travel partner’s points?
Yes. Keep their balances in a separate wallet, compare funding options for each traveler, and use combining only where the program’s rules allow. Your balances are not treated as one freely transferable pool.
Where can I learn how to get more value from my points?
Our travel guides walk through transferable points, partner airlines and practical examples. You can open the calculator along the way and try the steps with your own balances.
How does the AI assistant use my information?
OpenAI powers the AI features. Your question, relevant balances and travel-plan context may be used to personalize its response. Read our Privacy Policy for details.
