Points Assistant is an independent, human-led search service for UK travellers. Tell us your points balance and where you want to go — whether it's a personal trip or a birthday treat — we check availability across airlines and UK loyalty schemes like Avios, Nectar, Amex UK and Revolut, then hand you a clear, written recommendation.
Searches from £25 · See full pricing →Each request is reviewed manually — not run through a generic search widget.
Your points balances, travel dates or flexibility, and what a good outcome looks like for you.
An advisor manually checks availability, routings and redemption value across programmes, using tools most travellers can't access.
Clear routes and real trade-offs, explained plainly — so you decide with confidence, not pressure.
We search across British Airways Executive Club, Virgin Points, Star Alliance, Oneworld and more — checking multiple routings, dates and cabins — then hand you every strong option we find, side by side, along with our clear recommendation.
A 1-hour 1:1 call, tailored entirely to you — we build a plan for what to earn, where to hold your points, and when to redeem, based on your travel goals and the points you already have, not generic "top 10" listicle advice. Become the expert.
Here's what an award search can uncover. We check multiple dates, routings and cabins — then explain the trade-offs.
Illustrative dates and times — live search checks a range of departure days, not a single fixed one.
Plus hours of your own time spent searching, saved.
Every search ends with a short written report — the options laid out side by side, and one clear recommendation at the end.
