Straight to the Points

Does anyone else subscribe to this service?

I subscribe to the premium version and have gotten some tremendous value over the last couple of years.

How it works: Spencer Howard (guy who owns the site) sends a text message and email every time he finds good award availability. All flights are international in J/F. Email contains detailed instructions with regards to dates, points required and where to transfer from, etc.

I usually get 2-4 alerts per week. All opportunities are for 2+ seats and hes pretty good about seeking input from subscribers about where they want to travel and then suggesting relevant awards.

Curious if anyone else uses this service or something like it.

He's incredible, there's nothing like what he provides. Thrifty Traveler to their credit does occasionally send out award availability, and of course the larger blogs on rare occasions as well, but this is his speciality. He provides exact dates of availability as well as tips on how to book, aircraft types and seats to aim for/avoid.

He also sends out premium cabin cash deals.

Anyone still using this service? Successful J or F International Booking? Can one set up alerts for specific departure airports?

Many thanks.

Yes its fantastic. Ive subscribed for a couple of years and booked several trips for which I was alerted (including one last week for 3+ seats in J ORD-HND round trip).

You dont set up alerts for specific airports; you get all alerts. But theyre going to be for a lot of major airports eg jfk, Ord, ewr, Mia, sfo, lax, etc
