Award travel planning in TripScope
Review your points and miles before an award search
Quick answer: With Pro, Award Readiness shows the travel rewards you track in RewardSensei next to a saved TripScope trip. See each person's balances, how many transfer options are listed, current transfer bonuses, hotel status, free-night certificates, and the trip's room count. You still search and book with the airline or hotel.
Award travel gets complicated when points, miles, and certificates live in different accounts. Award Readiness gives you one place to see what each person has before you compare flights or hotels.
Availability: Tracking airline and hotel balances, hotel status, and certificates is available on Free. Pro shows those details beside saved TripScope trips. RewardSensei does not search for available award flights or hotel nights.Current distribution: Chrome and Firefox extensions are live; web and Android are in Closed Beta.
What Award Readiness does
Each person's points
Keep bank, airline, and hotel balances under the name of the person who owns them. RewardSensei does not add them into a household total.
Transfer options
See the number of transfer options for each person's bank points in TripScope, then open Points to review the partners and transfer ratios.
Current transfer bonuses
TripScope shows a bonus only when RewardSensei found it during a supported bank sync in the past 24 hours, it has an end date, and that date has not passed.
Hotel status and certificates
Track hotel status and its expiration date, plus free-night certificate quantities, expiration dates, and optional points limits.
Where each balance came from
See whether you entered a balance yourself or it came from a sync, along with when it was updated.
Rooms for this trip
See the saved room count while you review the points and certificates that may help with the stay.

Award Readiness FAQ
What does Award Readiness show?
It shows each person's bank points, airline miles, hotel points, current transfer bonuses, hotel status, free-night certificates, and the saved trip's room count. It also shows how many transfer options are listed for each person's bank points.
Can RewardSensei find available award flights or hotel nights?
No. Award Readiness helps you review your rewards before you search. It does not search airline or hotel award availability.
Can Award Readiness tell me whether I have enough points?
No. Award prices change, and RewardSensei does not calculate whether your balances cover a particular flight or hotel stay. Check the current price with the loyalty program.
Can I plan with another household member's points?
You can review a household member's balances when their card-sharing setting allows it, but RewardSensei keeps them under that person's name. It does not combine household points or decide whether one member can use another member's rewards.
Where do the transfer bonuses come from?
TripScope shows a transfer bonus only when RewardSensei found it during a supported bank sync in the past 24 hours, the bonus has an end date, and that date has not passed. Confirm the rate with the bank before transferring points.
Can I edit a synced loyalty balance?
Synced balances are read-only and update through their original sync source. You can edit or remove manually tracked airline and hotel balances in Points.
Can RewardSensei transfer points or book an award?
No. RewardSensei does not transfer points or book travel. Confirm the transfer rate with the bank and award availability with the airline or hotel program before moving points.
