But there has been a beta tool under development by a FlyerTalker (I think I saw the post in the United forum), that basically uses the ANA database/interface, but makes it much more user friendly.

I imagine you are all talking about Award Nexus, the tool I just started sharing with a few interested members a few weeks ago.

Thanks for not jumping to conclusion, rankourabu. While I don't have full stats at this point, with only a few dozens accounts and less than ten daily active users, many of whom are not doing ANA search, I have no reason to think ANX has anything to do with ANA's new policy.

Some heavy award redeemers probably do more searches than all the active daily users of my tool combined.

Please, you are too kind, jarino. One day I wish the usage would reach the level you described.
