Recommended next actions

  • Confirm travel dates and flexibility windows (±1–2 days).
  • Select which bank points pool to spend first based on transfer speed and remaining balance strategy.
  • Authorize instant ticketing when a leg clears the $5k savings threshold.

Risks / guardrails

  • Award space is volatile; book quickly once criteria are met.
  • Change/cancel rules vary by program; prefer flexible redeposit policies.
  • Avoid redemptions with high carrier surcharges unless savings remain above threshold.

Rules / Settings

                
These are the knobs your “arbitrage engine” uses.


                

                    

                        
                        
                    

                    

                        
                        
                    

                


                

                    

                        
                        
                    

                    

                        
                        
                    

                


                

                
Point valuations (internal estimate)

                

                    

                        
                        
                        
Example: 0.015 = 1.5¢

                    

                    

                        
                        
                        
Example: 0.014 = 1.4¢

                    

                


                

                    
                    
                

            


            

                
How the “engine” decides

                

                    This demo uses a simple rule:
                    


                    eligible = retailBizUSD - (feesUSD + pointsRequired * valuation) ≥ threshold
                    


                    In production you’d also check:
                    award availability, transfer partner, transfer time, change/cancel rules, and itinerary reasonableness.
