About AwardHack
Points and miles, minus the guesswork
AwardHack is a free set of tools for credit card points, airline miles and hotel points. It compares what an award flight costs across 30+ loyalty programs, tracks transfer bonuses and card credits, and tells you what your points are worth in dollars.

Why AwardHack exists
Points don't come with a price tag. The same business class seat to Tokyo can cost twice as many miles through one program as through another. A 30% transfer bonus might start next week, or not for a year. Card credits reset every month or quarter whether you used them or not.
The answers to most of these questions exist somewhere, scattered across award charts, forum threads and old spreadsheets. AwardHack started as a way to answer one of them (is this redemption actually a good deal?) and grew into a tool for each of the others.

How it's run
Free comes first
Over 40 tools and maps are free. Pro raises the limits (more award searches, business and first class pricing, unlimited tracking), but nothing here only makes sense if you pay.
No bank connections
You add your cards and balances yourself. AwardHack never asks for bank logins and doesn't use Plaid or any other account aggregator.
Honest about the data
Transfer bonuses are checked every day. Programs that price awards dynamically are labelled that way, not passed off as fixed charts. Every notable update goes in the changelog.

Frequently asked questions
What is AwardHack?
AwardHack is a website with free tools for credit card points, airline miles and hotel points. You can compare what an award flight costs across 30+ loyalty programs, see live transfer bonuses, look up what your points are worth in cents, and track your card credits and point balances so they don't expire unused.
Is AwardHack free?
Yes. More than 40 tools and maps are free. Some need a free account so your data has somewhere to live. AwardHack Pro is an optional subscription that adds business and first class award pricing, more daily searches, unlimited items in the trackers and the full card roadmap.
Compare Free and ProIs AwardHack the same as AwardHacker?
No. AwardHacker was a separate award search site that shut down in March 2026. AwardHack is an independent tool. Its Award Flight Pricer does the same job: enter a route and compare how many miles it costs across 30+ programs.
Try the Award Flight PricerDoes AwardHack show live award seat availability?
No. The Award Flight Pricer shows what each program charges for a route, so you know which program to book through and which points to transfer. Once you've picked a program, confirm the seat is actually available on that program's website before you move any points.
Do I need to connect my bank or credit card accounts?
No. AwardHack is manual by design. You enter your cards and balances yourself, and it never asks for bank logins or connects through Plaid or any other aggregator.
How does AwardHack make money?
From Pro subscriptions and, on some credit card links, an affiliate commission paid by the issuer at no cost to you. Commissions don't change how the Card Recommender or any other tool ranks cards.
