Consider yourself lucky if you a member of the AmEx or Bilt network.
No more spending hours searching airlines one at a time.
Or using free third-party tools that are out-of-date.
Don't get me wrong, those tools are helpful...
...but I want as close to 100% certainty whenever possible. š
And AmEx and Bilt are listening!
Both have an exclusive partnership with Point.me.
Well, Bilt has had this since January 2023...
...but AmEx is joining the party with their dedicated site going live two weeks ago.
(That's early March 2024 if you're keeping track.)
Does that mean that these two credit cards are now better than the others?
No.
Because that is a totally different thing.
This partnership makes finding the best redemption options with transfer partners easier...
...and more accurate.
This is super nice if you're like me - and hate paying for another service.
Have one of these cards?
I've put together a full guide on how to use Point.me if your an American Express cardholder:

Since I don't have a Bilt card myself...
...I can't pull screenshots to build a guide for Bilt users.
I was able to confirm that it's integrated directly within the Bilt app itself.
Make sure you have the most up-to-date version.
You should should see the "Powered by Point.me" when you're searching.
Here's a good video overview of the Bilt app on YouTube channel, Max Miles Points.
If you don't have either of these cards...
...you can leverage the free tool that I discussed in a previous article, Seats.aero.
