$395 per cardholder
A 12-month points and miles strategy built around your travel goals. We look at the trips you want to take, the points you already have, your credit card portfolio, and the programs that can get you there.
$350 per traveler
You tell me where you want to go. I search airline award inventory, compare the viable ways to book it, and help you complete the redemption.
Additional charges apply to itineraries requiring multiple tickets per direction and/or flights that require booking between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
$99
Have a trip in mind and want to know whether your points can realistically get you there?
I evaluate the trip, your dates, number of travelers, cabin, available points and miles, and the award options available before you commit to a full Award Booking.
The $99 fee is creditable toward another MilesHusband service purchased within 14 days of your Is My Trip Possible? purchase.
Points Wealth Building is the Earn side of MilesHusband.
Instead of accumulating whichever points happen to come with the latest credit card offer, we start with your travel goals and work backward.
Which airlines can get you there?
Which loyalty programs can book those flights?
Which bank points transfer to those programs?
Which cards should you open, keep, use, or stop prioritizing?
The goal is a points portfolio designed around future travel.
Points Wealth Building is priced per cardholder because each cardholder has an individual credit profile, application history, card portfolio, eligibility, and earning opportunities.
Award Booking is the Burn side.
I search for ways to use your existing points and miles for the trip you want. That can include multiple airlines, loyalty programs, departure cities, connecting points, and transfer options.
You receive the viable choices. We choose the one that works best for your trip and complete the booking.
Award Booking is $350 per traveler.
Some trips require separate tickets to construct a single direction of travel. Other awards are released overnight and need to be booked within minutes of becoming available.
Additional charges apply to itineraries requiring multiple tickets per direction and/or flights that require booking between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
It is a $99 feasibility review before committing to Award Booking or another MilesHusband service.
You tell me where you want to go, when you want to travel, how many people are traveling, the cabin you want, and the points and miles you have.
I determine whether the trip is realistically achievable with those ingredients.
It is especially useful when you have a specific trip in mind but do not know whether the points, dates, and available award inventory line up.
If you purchase another MilesHusband service within 14 days of purchasing Is My Trip Possible?, the $99 fee is credited toward that service.
No.
Award seats are controlled by airlines and loyalty programs and can disappear at any time.
Your dates, destination, number of travelers, cabin, points balances, routing preferences, and flexibility all affect what is available.
The Award Booking fee pays for the search and booking service. It does not guarantee that an airline will release an award matching every requested condition.
Finding one flight is easy when the airline happens to offer exactly what you need.
The harder searches involve questions such as:
Which loyalty program can actually see the seat?
Is another program charging fewer points for the same flight?
Can another transferable currency unlock an airline you cannot reach with your current points?
Is a connection worth accepting to save 100,000 points?
Should you spend more points to avoid an overnight connection or a 12-hour detour?
My job is to see the choices before you commit to one.
Yes.
That is what Is My Trip Possible? is for.
For $99, I evaluate the trip against your dates, points, number of travelers, cabin preferences, and available award options.
If the trip is feasible and you want MilesHusband to take over the search and booking, you can move forward with Award Booking.
Purchase Award Booking or another MilesHusband service within 14 days and the $99 fee is credited toward that purchase.
Yes.
MilesHusband can work with any cabin. Award Booking is especially valuable when premium-cabin pricing, partner availability, transfer programs, and routing options make the search more complicated.
Points Wealth Building can include hotel points and hotel credit cards when they serve your travel goals.
Award Booking primarily focuses on airline awards unless hotel assistance is included in the specific engagement.
Yes, when a card serves your travel strategy.
The goal is not to collect credit cards. The goal is to build access to the airline and hotel programs that can take you where you want to go.
A large welcome bonus has limited value if the points cannot efficiently book the travel you want.
Credit card strategy is individual.
Each cardholder has a separate credit profile, application history, issuer eligibility, existing card portfolio, welcome-bonus history, and capacity for future applications.
For couples, that means two cardholders can have different roadmaps even when they share the same travel goals and household points strategy.
MilesHusband is a points-and-miles consulting and award-booking service.
Airlines, hotels, banks, loyalty programs, and other travel providers control their own reservations, inventory, program rules, schedules, and pricing.
No.
If you already have points, Award Booking can help determine how to use them.
If you are still building your balances, Points Wealth Building is designed to determine what you should earn before you start accumulating points without a destination strategy.
If you have a particular trip in mind and want to know whether your current points are enough, start with Is My Trip Possible?
Yes.
A major part of award strategy is understanding how programs such as American Express Membership Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Points, Bilt Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, and airline or hotel currencies interact.
The best redemption can involve a loyalty program that is completely different from the airline operating your flight.
Sometimes.
Banks and loyalty programs have different rules governing transfers, household accounts, authorized users, pooling, and transfers between members.
We evaluate the available options for your specific points and programs.
Before transferring points, the first and last name on the receiving loyalty account must match the first and last name associated with the bank card or rewards account that is the source of those points.
Name mismatches can cause transfers to be delayed or rejected.
I can guide you through the transfer process and tell you what program, account, and quantity are being used.
You remain responsible for verifying your accounts and approving the transfer.
Most points transfers cannot simply be reversed after they are completed.
Usually, no.
Transferable bank points preserve your options. Once they move into an airline or hotel program, they generally stay there.
For Award Booking, we identify the redemption first and determine which points need to move.
Sometimes very quickly.
Award inventory can change between searches and can disappear while you are deciding, transferring points, or waiting to book.
Some highly sought-after awards can be gone within minutes of release.
If I send you an option you want, responding promptly gives us the best chance of securing it.
Some of the hardest awards are released on a predictable schedule tied to the airline’s local time.
For destinations such as Japan, Australia, and New Zealand, that release can occur in the middle of the night in the United States. The most desirable business and first class seats can be claimed within minutes.
Those bookings require MilesHusband to be available when the inventory is released and prepared to act immediately.
Additional charges apply to flights requiring booking between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
We search again.
The airline controls the inventory. Finding a seat does not reserve it.
MilesHusband cannot be responsible for inventory lost while waiting for customer approval, payment, account access, or a points transfer.
No.
Nonstop is one factor.
So are points price, cash surcharges, total travel time, connection length, aircraft, cabin, positioning flights, overnight layovers, and the number of seats you need.
Sometimes nonstop wins. Sometimes the extra connection saves an enormous number of points.
You decide which tradeoffs are worth making.
Sometimes the best way to reach your destination requires combining flights that cannot be booked together on a single award ticket.
For example, one ticket might get you across the Atlantic or Pacific while another ticket gets you from the international gateway to your final destination.
These itineraries require additional searches, transfers, bookings, and reservation management.
Additional charges apply when multiple tickets are required in the same direction of travel.
Yes, but peak dates are harder.
Three business-class seats during Christmas week with narrow dates and few connections is a very different search from one traveler with a flexible calendar.
Airlines frequently charge more cash during peak periods while releasing very little premium award inventory.
Flexibility increases the number of possibilities I can search.
For an award search, I generally need:
Additional account information can be requested when we are ready to transfer points or book.
Sometimes account access is helpful during a booking.
If access is needed, I will tell you what is required and why.
Do not email passwords or other sensitive account information unless I specifically request it and provide instructions for transmitting it.
Award Booking requires a non-refundable deposit before the search begins, with the remaining balance due under the terms provided for your engagement.
Additional charges can apply to itineraries requiring multiple tickets per direction and/or flights requiring booking between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern Time.
Other services are paid according to the terms shown when you purchase them.
