Those Amex and Chase points you've been accumulating from everyday spending? They could be business class seats, luxury hotel stays, and first class upgrades. MileIntel shows you exactly how.
For travelers sitting on transferable points who want to stop booking economy when premium is within reach
You have an Amex Platinum or a Chase Sapphire Reserve. Maybe both. You put everything on the card. Groceries, flights, dinners, subscriptions. The points pile up. You check the balance sometimes: 280K Membership Rewards. Nice.
Then you book a trip. Economy to Tokyo. $4,200 for two tickets. You pay cash because... that's what you've always done. The points sit there. Maybe you used some for a gift card once. Maybe you booked a hotel through the portal at 1 cent per point.
Those 280K Amex points? They could have been two lie-flat business class seats to Tokyo. Same trip. Same dates. You just didn't know how.
MileIntel syncs your loyalty emails and shows you every balance in one place. Credit card points, airline miles, hotel points. Most travelers discover they have more than they thought, scattered across programs they forgot about.
Transfer Amex → ANA Mileage Club
85K points each · 2 business class seats · Lie-flat
Book through Amex Travel Portal
336K points · 2 economy seats · Same dates
Pay cash: $4,200 per person
2 economy tickets · $8,400 total
The difference between a good redemption and a great one is knowing which transfer partner to use. ANA business class costs 85K Amex points per person. The same trip booked through the Amex portal costs 336K points for economy. MileIntel finds these sweet spots automatically.
A few times a year, airlines offer bonus miles when you transfer from Amex or Chase. A 30% bonus means your 85K transfer becomes 110K miles. MileIntel watches for these and alerts you when a bonus aligns with a trip you're planning.
Amex → Air Canada Aeroplan: 30% bonus
Your planned trip to London has a sweet spot at 70K Aeroplan miles in business. With the bonus, that's only 54K Amex points.
Chase → British Airways Avios: 25% bonus
