PointR

Where can your points take you?

PointR prices award flights and hotels in points, then works out cents per point against the cash price. It plans for a whole household and shows how to pay from cards you already hold. It never books or transfers anything, and the search is live award search, so the results are real.

Fly the route to Kyoto, then open one stay.

Details

A chip on every result

Every result gets a chip: steal, great, good, fair, or poor. That's the cents-per-point call, set against the cash price, so you can see if the award is worth it. A map flies along the route with a little plane. If you move points yourself, a Live Activity keeps tracking that transfer on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island.

App, site, and my Mac

There's a native iPhone app on iOS 26, with Liquid Glass, widgets, and that Lock Screen tracker. There's a website. The server runs on my Mac. Search is live award search. The results you see are live and real, not a demo I made up.

It never books for you

A plan can cover a whole household, and it shows how to pay from cards you already hold. Then it stops. PointR will not book the flight or the hotel, and it will not transfer the points. You still do that part yourself.
