Overview

What They Do

Problem we are solving — Award travel redemption is a frustrating mess. People searching flights on Google Flights waste hours juggling tabs, spreadsheets, and manual calculations just to figure out which points to transfer, how to handle multi-hop tricks and whether they can actually book the flight with what they have. They frequently mistime irreversible transfers, miss better partner availability, or leave money on the table using suboptimal paths. ChainPoints solves this by instantly overlaying personalized, balance-aware optimal transfer paths and live award pricing directly on Google Flights results, so users see the smartest way to book without ever leaving the page.

Current traction — We are pre-revenue with 20 active alpha users who are actively testing the extension on real Google Flights searches. Strong early organic interest (with 100+ replies) on Reddit with positive feedback, and need on the concept
