Episode notes
Instant Cash vs. Points Comparison
- PointsPath overlays points prices on Google Flights to show side-by-side cash and award costs.
- It uses proprietary valuations and tells you instantly which option is the better deal.
Use Valuation Thresholds To Decide
- Use PointsPath's valuation thresholds to decide when to redeem points: >15% savings = great, 5–15% = good, <5% = either or cash.
- Adjust valuations in PointsPath Pro to match your personal cents-per-point requirements.
Search True Round-Trip Pricing
- Search round-trip directly in Google Flights with PointsPath to get true round-trip award pricing instead of summing two one-ways.
- That ensures PointsPath shows any round-trip-specific award pricing accurately.
