How the beta models travel-card value

This beta is a guided comparison tool. It covers selected cards and points programs, not the full Australian market.

What is included

The static beta catalogue currently contains 22 issuer-sourced personal-card records across Qantas Frequent Flyer, American Express Membership Rewards, Cathay Asia Miles, and Air Canada Aeroplan pathways. It is a verified launch catalogue, not yet a claim of full-market coverage. Velocity, hotel programs, live award availability, and live fare feeds are deferred.

What the estimate means

Estimated redemption value uses a curated route fare, a supported award route, the disclosed transfer ratio, your monthly-spend assumption, and the card annual fee. It is a modelled estimate, not a cash saving or approval prediction.

What is excluded

Taxes and carrier charges may still apply to award bookings. Subjective values for lounge visits, travel credits, insurance, and other perks do not increase the ranked value.

Check the source

Card offers and eligibility terms change frequently. Each card detail page links to its issuer source and shows when the beta record was last checked. Verify current terms independently before making a decision.
