Travel Tools - Trio of sites that list benefits/fine print of travel rewards programs

Just thought this would be helpful to frequent travelers. I have no affiliation to the sites.

They all specify points and "catches" of each rewards program

I took a quick look at the airline programs. It stated incorrectly that Delta has "blackout dates."

Anyway though, there seemed to be NO consideration of the following, which I think are the two biggest elements of a FF program:

a) Award availability
b) Elite benefits

While it opined favorably on programs that allow you to buy, transfer, and gift miles, which can be useful if you need a few miles to top off an award but are otherwise usually a lousy value.

What da....Starwood/SPG is not listed on their top 10 hotels list?

These sites all seem pretty useless, to be honest. And I don't trust any website that ranks Frontier and Delta as the number 2 and 3 best frequent flyer programs.

Seems like someone's poor attempt to grab search engine traffic.

agreed it doesnt seem very good.

I agree. IMHO these sites are not worth looking at.
