Some people here have been burned by subscribing to an award search service that depended on unauthorised access to airline data, then not getting what they thought they'd paid for because that access was blocked. Can you at least reassure us that Roame is not selling stolen data?
I have a paid subscription, but won't continue without that reassurance.

I have no inside information, but, how could Roame say anything but 'of course it is all legit'.
(I am not saying it isn't legit, but just that there is zero chance they will say anything else.)

I am trying out your free service before possibly subscribing to the paid service
I have done several flight searches and Roame lists a points cost that is less than the points cost on the airline website
For example, YPR to YVR on May 1st (also many other dates), Roame lists 10,000 points but Air Canada wants 17,800 points
(edited) But for another search, YPR to LAS on May 1st, Roame lists 32,500 points but Air Canada wants only 12,500 points
(I have no idea why Air Canada will fly YPR-YVR-LAS for few points than just YPR-YVR)
