New online travel tool makes it easier to use points instead of paying for hotel stays
A new online travel tool is helping you save money and use loyalty points to book your next stay around the world.
i love travel I love planning a trip. What I don’t like is going from a hotel program and credit card points account to see how I’d like to use points instead of spending money on stays. For most people, it becomes a mess of chasing point balances then comparing available points against payments or a combination of the two.
Enter the Awayz website that completes travel tasks in seconds to determine which points can be used and whether it’s worth cashing in or paying for those valuable points for an upcoming stay.
The company is behind the Odin award-optimization platform. It promises to maximize your awards with the best deals on the places you want to stay.

What is Avez?
Aways is a live cash and award pricer that helps you make your travel planning easier.
It gives you the option to either spend or redeem your rewards wisely by displaying the best value in both cash and points for over 15,000 Hilton, Marriott, Hyatt and IHG hotels worldwide on every search.
You can get independently valued loyalty programs, as Awayz uses cash and points value side-by-side comparison.
All booking recommendations are based on your award balance and credit cards. Each person is shown a breakdown of the value of their hotel and bank points, so they know how much to redeem from relevant programs for any given stay.
