Best in class. I've saved over 10k on flights. E.g. - Memphis to London Business Class retailed for 7k USD on American Airlines. Noticed on my paid Roame account that Alaska also supported the flight for 45k points. Alaska was also doing a deal on points which retailed $480 + $200 cash fee. - Saved another 3k on an Air France Business class flight from London to Singapore. Retailed for 2.5k each way, got each flight for just about 1k when transferring points with my Amex and doing the point equivalent calculations. The value is clear.
Easy to search award flights and love that it shows all reward redemptions possible and the total out of pocket fees that would be added. Normally you'd have to figure this out yourself and do all the comparisons manually - saves so much time!
Incredible concept here - optimizing all the various reward currencies with route availability is one of those time sinks that tends to over-complicate and spoil the planning process of upcoming trips for me. Definitely impressed to see point transfers between partners included in the search results. It'd be cool if roame could help more seamlessly facilitate those transfers as well someday? One of my stress points is hoping that a ticket will still be available sometimes several days later when a point transfer completes and becomes available to spend. Excited to see this one develop over the coming months. Congrats on the launch & good luck to the Roame team!
Hey , this is super cool. I had been doing extensive research on this and was thinking of changing my cards just to get the maximum benefit out of points. The only thing that was holding me back was worry of credit score. This is a super cool solution to get around that :D
