Great video!

Great video! I am a SeatsAero person, but perhaps need to learn Roame now

@JCZ4978 10 months ago

Great video as always,
There are more and more tools nowadays.
I prefer a tool that gives me a calendar format type of ward and within the calendar the different options and programs, like the googleflights of awards.

TIA

Seat aero is my go to. Flexible date range, flexible airports. I can put WST and it will include all west coast airport. Roamme is way too busy for me and there are so many limitations

@curious_bug 11 months ago

Great video as always. What are your thoughts on point me?

@DGreen-1 11 months ago

Very good breakdown! Have you ever used Daily Drop Pro? Any thoughts on that particular award search tool?

@HopSkipJumpRun9989 9 months ago

I’m so glad you made this video. Lots of great information provided quickly between these sites. Much appreciated. One thing I do, as a novice user, is use the same city pairings consistently across the different sites features to gauge and interpret the website results. Its been helpful for me to learn how tonise the sites. I’d like to see your methods, or process, for confirming award availability and booking after you find a successful results from rhe award sites. I find myself booking and then canceling more often as I locate better deals with the use if these sites. Would you speak to that? I’m curious if other are as well?

Great video Mike.
The Award Tool UI is hideous. 🤮
They need to modernize it.

@PDXBeach 10 months ago

Like a comparison to Daily Drop Pro. I’ve used most of the other tools and wondered how that stacks up.

@Marisa2025-Bell 10 months ago

Would love to see your take on Daily Drop Pro

While this is only 8 months old, some of the info is already outdated. It would be good to see an updated version, since a lot has changed.

Hello,

Is there a way to contact you as a client to get assistance planning a trip for my wife and I? Thanks in advance, thank you for your educational videos.

This has been a disappointing experience. Award Tool is just terrible. Award Tool said my trip using Emirates will cost 109K Amex points + $1073 per passenger. Emirates said 181K miles + $1073 per passenger. 109K Amex is 87K miles at the current exchange rate. I hope you're a better nurse than whatever this gig is.
