How Award Booking Works

Tell us where you want to go.
We'll find the seats.

Award availability is tricky — seats open and close constantly, and knowing which program to book through makes a massive difference. We've spent years learning where to look.

You tell us your destination, travel dates, cabin class, and how many passengers. We search across Aeroplan, Amex MR transfer partners, and more — then hand you a clear booking plan.

📋 You submit your trip details via a short form

🔍 We search availability across programs within 48 hours

✈️ We deliver your options + a step-by-step booking guide

📞 Optional live call to book together if you want the support

Common Questions

Award Booking FAQ

Everything you've wondered about having someone search award flights for you.

Do you actually book the flight, or just find it?

We find the award space and send you a detailed step-by-step guide to complete the booking yourself — you keep full control of your account and points. If you'd rather book together live, you can add a 30-minute call and we'll walk through it with you in real time.

Why is there a non-refundable search fee?

Award searching takes real time — scanning multiple programs, dates, and routing combinations. The deposit covers that work. It's applied to your total balance if you proceed, so it's not an extra cost — it just ensures we're both committed before we start digging.

What if you can't find availability?

It happens — award space is genuinely limited on some routes and dates. If we can't find anything suitable within your parameters, we'll tell you honestly and discuss your options: flexible dates, alternate programs, or a different routing. We never deliver a result we wouldn't book ourselves. If we truly come up empty with no viable options, your search deposit will be refunded in full.

Which points programs do you search?

Primarily Canadian programs — Aeroplan, Amex MR transfer partners, Scene+, RBC Avion, and others relevant to your points balance. We'll also look at partner airline programs if they unlock better availability or value for your specific route. Have access to US credit card points (Chase Ultimate Rewards, Citi ThankYou, Capital One Miles)? We support those too — US programs often unlock availability that Canadian programs miss entirely.

How quickly do I get results?

Within 48 hours of receiving your trip details and deposit. Award availability is time-sensitive so we move fast — and we'll flag if anything looks like it might disappear soon so you can act quickly.

Do you need access to my points account?

Never. We search availability through public-facing tools and partner databases. You'll always be the one logging in and completing the booking. Your login credentials stay with you — always.

What if the seats disappear before I book?

Award space can disappear fast. We flag time-sensitive availability in our results and recommend booking within 24 hours when seats look limited. If space vanishes before you book, one re-search is included at no extra charge.

Is this worth it for economy class too?

Absolutely — especially for families or groups where finding 3–5 seats together in the same cabin is genuinely hard. We've found economy redemptions that saved clients hundreds of dollars versus paying cash, even after our fee.

Real Trips. Really on Points.

We don't just teach it —
we live it.

Before LCT Points was a website, it was the Little Canadian Traveller — where we documented years of travelling the world on points. Over 50 trips. More than $250,000 in travel value redeemed. 10+ million points earned and burned.

We've sat in Etihad First Class Apartments, Qatar Business, Lufthansa Business, Qantas Business, American Airlines First, Air India First — and documented every redemption. When a CEO reached out asking how to put his company spend to work, we realized this knowledge wasn't just for families. Most Canadians are leaving a staggering amount on the table.

What Clients Are Saying

Real results from real Canadians

★★★★★

"I had 80,000 Amex points sitting there for two years. After a 30-minute call I transferred them to Aeroplan and booked a flight I thought I could never afford. Wish I'd done this years ago."

👩

Sarah M.

Toronto, ON · Quick Win Call

★★★★★

"As a CEO I'm putting significant company spend through cards every month. The audit showed me exactly which cards to use for what — and my points earning has probably tripled since."

👨‍💼

Michael T.

Vancouver, BC · Full Audit

★★★★★

"We wanted to take our three kids to Mexico in business class — something I thought was a pipe dream. The trip strategy session made it real. We fly in April, nearly entirely on points."

Common Questions

Things people ask before booking

Still on the fence? Hopefully one of these helps. You can also just reach out — we're real people.

Email Us →

Not at all. We work with people at all stages — total beginners with zero cards, to professionals with multiple cards who just want to make sure they're optimized. Come as you are.

Absolutely. Business owners and executives often have the highest untapped potential because they're running significant spend through cards that aren't optimized. We've worked with everyone from sole proprietors to CEOs.

No. Sometimes the answer is one new card. Sometimes it's optimizing what you already have. We're not going to recommend anything that doesn't genuinely serve your goals.

The blog gives general knowledge. A session gives you a plan built for your specific situation — your cards, your spending, your goals, your timeline. It's the difference between reading a cookbook and having a chef cook for you.

Reach out and we'll make it right — a follow-up call or a full refund. We're a small operation and our reputation matters more to us than any individual booking.

Your points are worth more.
Way more.
