Loyalty Programme Planning
Routes through preferred hubs, tracks tier progress, applies membership numbers.
The Scenario
“I am 5,000 points from BA Gold. Is it worth routing through Heathrow for my next trip?”
The plugin knows your loyalty programmes because they are stored in your profile. When you search, it automatically factors in your tier status, points balance, and upcoming thresholds. It will route through your preferred airline's hub when the price difference is small enough to justify the loyalty benefit.
It does the maths you would normally do on the back of an envelope: 'You need 5,000 more tier points for Gold. This Heathrow routing earns 3,200. The price difference is £40. That is £40 well spent if you fly BA three more times this year — you will hit Gold and get lounge access for every trip.'
What It Looks Like
Your loyalty programmes are stored in your profile: airline, hotel, and rail memberships with numbers.
Every recommendation factors in your loyalty status. The plugin explains the tradeoff between price and points.
How It Works
During profile setup, you provide your loyalty programme details: airline (e.g. BA Gold), hotel (e.g. Marriott Bonvoy Platinum), and rail (e.g. Club Eurostar).
When searching, the plugin factors loyalty into every recommendation. It favours your preferred airline when the price premium is reasonable.
It tracks tier progress and flags opportunities: 'You are close to the next tier. This routing would help, and it only costs £30 more.'
Membership numbers are applied automatically when generating booking links. Hotel searches favour properties in your loyalty programme's chain.
Try These Prompts
I am 5,000 points from BA Gold. Should I route through Heathrow for my Rome trip?
Find me a Marriott or Bonvoy property in Paris. I want to use my Platinum status for the upgrade.
Is it worth booking the more expensive BA flight to earn Avios, or should I take the Ryanair for half the price?
