I have 17 credit cards and I've made every beginner points mistake there is. Most people can't tell what their points can actually buy, so the points sit there or get spent through the bank's travel site.
ChainPoints is a free Chrome extension that fixes that on Google Flights: every flight shows what it costs in the points you already have, and the cheapest way to book it. Real example: a $27,117 business class trip to Zurich for 142,000 points, v/s your bank portal costs you 2,700,000 points

New since our July launch:
- Award search right on chainpoints.app, even on your phone
- The Filter: best value, fewest points, a transfer bonus or a shorter layover
- Trips up to a year out
- Combine points from several cards into one booking
I'd love your honest feedback, especially if it gets a flight wrong. I'm here all day.
