How the table works

  • iPhone only, iOS 18 or later.
  • The app's interface is in English or Simplified Chinese.
  • Available in 174 countries or regions; not in mainland China.

Your own seats.aero data (optional): if you have a seats.aero account with API access (seats.aero decides which accounts have API access; Pointfare sells nothing), you can connect it to see results from that account instead of sample data. AwardGrid is free on the App Store (App ID 6816321841).

Illustrative figures, not seats.aero data. In the app, results come from your seats.aero account, or from sample data. Miles in different programs are not equivalent.

How it works

Type it

Type the routes and dates in English or Chinese, or set them in the editor.

  • LAX to Tokyo next month, business
  • 洛杉矶到东京 下个月 商务舱
  • SFO to London next 60 days, first

Read the table

In the Matrix, rows are the dates and columns the routes. Each cell shows the lowest miles for each cabin you asked for, with the program and the seats left.

Check before you transfer

Results are seats.aero's cached availability, not a live search, and each shows how old it is. Confirm on the program's own site before you transfer points.

List, Calendar and Matrix

List, Calendar and Matrix views; compare up to four options; save searches on the device.

Pointfare's List view on sample data, for LAX to Tokyo next month, business: 53 options sorted by lowest miles.

Matrix

Sample data is labelled on every screen that shows it, its options have no booking links, and nothing is sent.

Two ways to use it

Sample data, without an account

Without a seats.aero account, Pointfare shows sample data only: search, the List, Calendar and Matrix views, option details, compare, Saved and Watches all work on sample data made on the iPhone, for any route between the 84 airports it recognises, over the next 12 months.

Your own seats.aero account

You connect your seats.aero account with seats.aero's own sign-in (Login with Seats.aero): seats.aero asks you to sign in and approve AwardGrid, and Pointfare never sees your password. You can disconnect at any time, in Pointfare or in your seats.aero settings.

What it does not do

No live search Only seats.aero's cached availability. Cached data goes stale and awards disappear; confirm on the program's own site before transferring points.
No round trips Searches are one-way: no round trips, multi-city or passenger count.
No guaranteed schedule iOS cannot promise to run anything on a cadence, so Pointfare does not claim one. Route watches check when you open or return to the app. With your own connected data-provider account, route targets can also be checked in the background when iOS allows; iOS decides when, if at all. If a background check finds a route at or below its miles target and notifications are allowed, this iPhone can create a local notification. Pointfare does not send remote push or email alerts. There is no fixed checking frequency and no guaranteed immediate alert when seats open up. Sample-data watches check only when you open or return to the app.
No airline-site scraping It reads the seats.aero cache, or uses sample data made on your iPhone. It never scrapes airline or bank sites, and it never asks for an airline or bank password.

Pointfare for iPhone has no accounts of its own and no analytics, advertising, tracking or crash reporting.

If you have a seats.aero account with API access, you can connect it in Settings to see results from that account instead.

Can Pointfare check award seats in the background and send push or email alerts?

Pointfare is the iPhone app formerly called AwardGrid (App ID 6816321841), published by Curastone CORP.

Route watches check when you open or return to the app. With your own connected data-provider account, route targets can also be checked in the background when iOS allows; iOS decides when, if at all. If a background check finds a route at or below its miles target and notifications are allowed, this iPhone can create a local notification. Pointfare does not send remote push or email alerts. There is no fixed checking frequency and no guaranteed immediate alert when seats open up. Sample-data watches check only when you open or return to the app.

Does Pointfare receive my seats.aero password or save award results on its servers?

Pointfare is the iPhone app formerly called AwardGrid (App ID 6816321841), published by Curastone CORP.

The Pointfare iPhone app connects through seats.aero's own sign-in (Login with Seats.aero), where you approve AwardGrid; Pointfare never sees your seats.aero password. Searches go directly from your iPhone to seats.aero, and results return to the iPhone. The developer's token service exchanges and refreshes sign-in tokens; it does not receive your search queries or award result rows and does not persist the tokens. Account result rows and the 45-minute search cache stay in the iPhone app's memory, not in a Pointfare server cache.

The iPhone app saves query and watch conditions, target-met and seen status, and check/call metadata in its own files on the device. With notification permission, iOS Notification Center can retain route, cabin, miles and date in a local watch notification. These device records are separate from award result rows and are not a Pointfare server cache.
