Web Site of the Week: Point Maven

Hotel Sign

Each week, Johnny Jet brings us a new site to help you travel better.

It seems like just about every travel provider– from airlines to hotels to rental cars– now offers a loyalty point program of some type.

But how do you make these programs really work for you?

Well, that’s where this week’s Web Site of the Week comes in. Take it away, Johnny…

You may have heard of MileMaven.com, a site that helps travelers find airline bonus mile offers by searching airlines or routes.

Now, there is PointMaven.com, which will help you to maximize your bonus points while your feet are firmly planted on terra firma.

It specializes in providing information on which hotels are offering bonus point promotions.

The database, updated daily, contains info on thousands of hotel properties and promotions.

All you have to do is enter in a domestic or international city or airport code, and you’ll be presented with a list of the promotions and offers, plus a cool map of all hotels.

It even tells you how far the hotel is from the airport. Very handy.

Johnny Jet can be found online at johnnyjet.com.
