Pointimize – Hotel and Flight Search Tool
UPDATE- See Blog post from Pointimize about Pointshogger.
Pointimize was launched only a year ago. To me, this website is a one-stop shop to find award availability over multiple airline and hotel loyalty programs.
How it Works
Once your account has been created, you can start adding your loyalty programs. Pointimize supports both manual input and AwardWallet account syncing. Once your accounts have been linked, you can begin searching for award available.
For the time being, not every single airline and hotel programs have teamed up with Pointimize, but there is still a significant list that is mentioned in the next section.
Pointimize have have Beginner’s Guide on how to use their website.

Thoughts
I am happy to see Pointimize being introduced to the miles and points world. Any time you can centralize award searches, it will for sure be useful. The hope is that Pointimize will continue to grow its partnership, which will increase its value.

These sort of sites are often targeted by hackers who then have access to your loyalty account info and password. NO THANKS.
That is a legitimate concern. Though, anything involving money, usernames and passwords will always be subject to hackers.
