Points Path Now Tracks Your Miles—Join Free Or Lock In Current Price Before Their October 1 Increase

Points Path, the tool that puts award prices next to cash fares in Google Flights, now tracks your points balances and shows which flights you already have enough miles to book. They’ve added account syncing in a Points Wallet, and they’re working on hotel programs and accounts for the whole family. They’re also raising subscription prices October 1, 2026. Pro is currently $79.99 for a year, but there’s an opportunity to lock in an extra year at their current price before the increase. I’ve been writing about Points Path for three years. The appeal is that you can keep searching Google Flights the way you normally do, and see what the same trip would cost in miles. You don’t have to start a separate award search on each airline’s website, it’s all in one place to compare. Points Path’s Google Flights interface from my original coverage. Points Wallet Connects Your Balances To The Flights You’re Searching Points Wallet brings your loyalty balances together in one place, similar to Award Wallet. Then it uses those balances while you’re searching Google Flights, so you can see which awards you already have the miles for. Wallet is now available to both Pro and Founders Club members, with 17 airline programs and automatic syncing for all six supported bank programs. You sign into your own airline account, and the extension updates your balance in the background when you visit the airline’s website. You don’t give them your account login credentials. They’re also developing a free Wallet. That version will sync the same five airline programs included in their free flight search (Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue and United) plus one bank program of your choice. Paying for Pro gets you the full supported airline and bank lineup. The free Wallet is still in development. Hotels and multiple people’s accounts are next, with Julian targeting early in the fourth quarter. In a lot of families, one person handles everyone’s miles. Being able to see a spouse’s and children’s accounts together would make it much easier to work out whose miles to use for a trip. Those additions haven’t launched yet. What You Get Free, And What Paying Adds The free extension searches Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue and United programs, including domestic and international flights and awards on their partners. It displays award prices alongside cash fares, flags whether it thinks miles are a good deal, shows bank transfer partners and transfer bonuses, and adds a link to book the award with the airline. It also searches true roundtrip award prices. That’s useful because two one-way awards don’t always cost the same as a roundtrip. Pro adds 12 more airline programs: Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Air France KLM, Avianca, Emirates, Etihad, Qantas, Qatar, TAP Air Portugal, Turkish, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia. (These are the programs whose miles you’re searching, so coverage extends to available awards on their partner airlines, too.) The other main Pro features are: 30 flight alerts and three Flex Alerts. Follow a specific flight’s award price, or use flexible criteria to watch a wider set of flights. The cheaper Alerts plan includes 10 flight alerts and one Flex Alert. A seven-day points calendar around the date of a one-way search. Their current instructions list calendar support for Alaska, American, Delta, JetBlue, United, Qantas, Virgin Australia and Etihad. Delta and United credit card award discounts in search results, for travelers eligible for those discounts. Your own point valuations for the cash-versus-miles recommendations, plus their Lufthansa first class dashboard. Points Wallet with the full supported program lineup. I covered their paid tier in December 2024, and award alerts remain useful even after you’ve booked. If your award becomes cheaper, an alert gives you a chance to reprice it under that program’s rules and get miles back. I also covered Bilt’s integration of Points Path in March. That’s an option inside Bilt’s app, focused on its transfer partners. This is the standalone Points Path subscription and Google Flights extension. What Buying Before October 1 Gets You Here’s the current pricing: Plan Current Price Points Wallet Standard Free Limited version in development Alerts $34.99 per year Not included in the current plan Pro $79.99 per year, or $7.99 per month Full supported lineup Founders Club includes Pro, more flight alerts, early access to new features, a private group, monthly question-and-answer sessions with Julian, and priority support. It’s currently closed to new members. You don’t need it to get Wallet now. For someone upgrading from free, buying an annual Pro subscription now gets a year of the current paid features at $79.99. Waiting until October 1 means buying at the new price. The seven-day calendar, expanded airline search, alerts and Wallet are available during that year. Existing paid subscribers have a separate reason to act: they can secure one extra year at their current subscription price before October 1. That’s an additional year’s price protection, not lifetime grandfathering. If all you need is to compare American, Delta, United, Alaska and JetBlue awards against cash fares, the free extension already does that. The reason to spend $79.99 now is that you’ll use the additional programs, alerts or Wallet over the next year. And if five airline accounts plus one bank will cover your balance tracking, the planned free Wallet may be enough. Topics on this page
