Tools of Points or Cash
Read-only
Idempotent
Open world
award_chartTypical saver award prices (one-way) by program, market and cabin from a researched table, plus known sweet spots. Use when live award search is unavailable, to shortlist programs, or to judge whether a live price is good. Prices are estimates with an as_of date; dynamic programs vary.NoYesYesNo
cashback_cardsEarn rates for crypto-cashback and flat-cashback cards (Coinbase One Card, Gemini, Crypto.com, Fold, Robinhood Gold, Citi Double Cash, Wells Fargo Active Cash and more): rate on airfare, hotels, travel portals and everything else, fees, caps and how rewards pay out. Use when the traveler pays cash with one of these cards, to value the cash option (cash back earned) and to pass cash_back_pct to points_value.NoYesYesNo
loungesAirport lounges for a journey: the lounges at each airport (origin, connections, destination) and which ones the traveler can use with their cards, plus access rules by ticket and status (business class, oneworld/Star Alliance/SkyTeam elite). Covers 214 airports, including Brussels and the main European and Asian hubs, with access by ticket, status, Priority Pass and cards by issuing country. Use it when planning the full journey, after the flights are decided or when the traveler asks about lounges. Card rules change often; the data has an as_of date and verified flags.NoYesYesNo
points_valueExact cents-per-point for an award vs the cash fare, in the trip currency: (cash − award fees − what paying cash would earn) ÷ points × 100. When the award is paid by transferring bank points, pass bank + program: it applies the traveler's transfer ratio (e.g. Belgian Amex to Flying Blue is 2:1) and any active bonus, and judges the value per bank point spent. Call it for every award you compare, rather than doing the maths yourself.NoYesYesNo
transfer_optionsWhich of the traveler's bank points can become miles/points in a target loyalty program, at what ratio, and how many they would end up with. Based on a researched transfer-partner table (has an as_of date; ratios change and transfer bonuses are not included). Pass the traveler's balances.NoYesYesNo
