anyone using pointhub?
 
I just ran across pointhub.com, and am curious if anyone has any experience with it. The interesting feature is:
Only Cash vs. PointsŪ shows the best rates for flights and hotels side-by-side with the price in frequent flyer miles and reward points -- and provides the option to book with either! The Cash vs. PointsŪ recommendation engine instantly computes dozens of pricing factors including program redemption fees and restrictions, your tier status and travel preferences.

Liking it so far. Might replace Award Wallet.

Their flight engine doesn't seem very accurate, but if they fix it...boy will they destroy AwardWallet

This is seeming pretty cool actually!
Quick and easy way to search across multiple alliances. I've only been messing around with the site for a few minutes, but right away my main complaints are that you can't do multi-city award flight searches, and you can't do any sort of flexible date searches or search through a whole calendar month. It's nice to search all of the airlines, but it takes awhile to try all the different date combos to get to the cheapest award redemption.

Where is this similar feature hidden in AwardWallet? Am I totally blind for not finding it?

Why do you think there is? I've never seen it.

Yes that must be what they meant.
