For New Business Travelers

Your colleagues are flying the same routes and getting upgraded. MileIntel shows you their playbook.

You're flying every week for work, earning miles across 3 or 4 airlines, and you know those miles are worth something. MileIntel connects to your Gmail, finds everything you've earned, and tells you what to do with it.

For analysts, associates, and consultants who travel for work and want to make it count

TL;DR

MileIntel is built for new business travelers (analysts, associates, consultants) who just started flying 20-40 times a year and don't want to become miles experts. Connect your email and calendar once — we detect every booking, track elite status progress across airlines and hotels, alert you when you're close to status thresholds, and show you which of your miles actually turn into free flights vs. which are about to expire.

You're earning miles every week. Your more strategic colleagues are turning them into upgrades.

Your company books you on whatever airline is cheapest. Monday you're on United. Wednesday you're on Delta. Sometimes American. You created loyalty accounts for all of them at some point, maybe, but you've never logged in to check.

The miles are piling up across 3 or 4 programs. Your colleague mentioned something about "status" and "upgrades" but you're not sure how any of it works. You know there's value there. You just don't have time to figure out the system.

MileIntel figures it out for you. Connect your Gmail, and in 60 seconds you'll see every mile you've ever earned and exactly what to do with them.

First year of work travel, 4 airlines

FAQ

I just started traveling for work. What loyalty program should I join?

Pick the airline program that matches your city's dominant hub: United at ORD/EWR/SFO/IAH/DEN, Delta at ATL/DTW/MSP/SLC/SEA, American at DFW/CLT/MIA/PHX, Alaska on the West Coast. Consolidating loyalty on one airline accelerates elite status — 25 round-trips gets you to Silver/Gold level on most programs. MileIntel helps you choose by analyzing your first few flights and recommending where to consolidate.

How do I earn elite status on an airline when I only travel 25-40 times a year?

Most airline elite programs offer entry-level status (Silver/Gold/Premier Silver) at 25-30 qualifying segments or $3,000-5,000 in spend. Road warrior travelers hit this naturally in their first full year. Credit card sign-up bonuses can also contribute elite-qualifying miles or dollars — the United Explorer card adds 500 PQP per $12,000 spent, for example. MileIntel tracks your progress and alerts you when you're close to status milestones.

My company books my flights. Can I still earn miles?

Yes. Even when your employer or a travel management company (TMC) books the flight, you earn miles and elite-qualifying credit in your personal loyalty account — as long as your frequent flyer number is attached to the booking. MileIntel automatically detects bookings from your email and calendar, so you don't have to manually add flights to your account.

Do miles actually turn into free flights?

Yes — but the value depends heavily on how you redeem. 50,000 miles redeemed for a $400 economy ticket delivers 0.8 cents per mile. The same 50,000 miles redeemed for a $3,000 business class ticket delivers 6 cents per mile — a 7x difference. MileIntel shows you the highest-value redemptions for your miles and recommends when to use them vs. save them.

Should I get an airline credit card in my first year of business travel?

Usually yes. A co-branded airline card ($95-150/year) typically includes a free checked bag (saves $30+ per round-trip), priority boarding, and 25,000+ bonus miles from the sign-up bonus. For moderate travelers, the first-year value often exceeds $500. MileIntel helps you evaluate whether a specific card matches your actual travel patterns.

Your work travel is earning you thousands in hidden value. MileIntel finds it.
