Most people have no idea if their points redemption is a good deal or a waste. Redemption Scout analyzes your Chase UR, Amex MR, Citi TYP, and airline/hotel balances against your trip and returns a ranked list of options with CPP valuations, transfer paths, and a plain-English verdict. Free 3-day trial, then $79/year
Hi,
I built Redemption Scout because I kept struggling the same problem. I have a pile of Chase UR and Amex MR points and no easy way to know if what I was about to do with them was a good way to use them.
The existing tools either track your balances or are written by bloggers who earn affiliate commissions recommending specific cards. None tell you, "Given your balances and this specific trip, here's the ranked breakdown of your best options with actual cents-per-point math." Worse, social media influencers highlight how they travel in luxury on great redemption, but never provide the secret on you too can find those deals.
So I built it. You enter your balances across up to 10 programs (Chase UR, Amex MR, Citi TYP, United, Hyatt, etc.), then your destination and trip details. Redemption Scout analyzes 40+ transfer paths and returns:
Ranked redemption options (1–5)
CPP estimate per option, color-coded (Poor / OK / Good / Exceptional)
The full transfer path (Chase UR → Aeroplan → ANA Business)
A plain-English verdict: "You're leaving $1,340 on the table if you use the portal"
Caveats (expiring balances, availability notes)
10 free trip searches. No credit card required. After that it's $7.99/month or $59/year.
Happy to answer any questions about the app or the points/miles logic. I would love feedback from anyone who actually uses these programs and has their own redemption challenges.
