AI agent for travel agents

Loyalty and Points Optimization Agent

Choose the booking option that gives the client the most value from cash, points and status

Loyalty and Points Optimization Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A frequent traveler books a flight with the wrong fare class and loses status credits, or pays cash while holding enough points for a better cabin. This agent looks at the money and the points together. It reads the client's loyalty accounts and planned bookings, compares paying cash with using points, checks the rules for status credits, fare classes and upgrade windows, and recommends the best option with the numbers. If prices change, it rechecks and updates the recommendation. It also watches expiring points and promotions. The agent approves before booking. Edge case: points expire in 20 days. The agent suggests using them on the next booking or a transfer to a partner.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It calculates the cents-per-point value of each option and the status credits earned. It prefers the option with the best total value for the client's goals.

  • Use points when value is over 1.5 cents per point unless the client prefers cash
  • Choose fares that earn status credits if the client is within 20 percent of the next tier
  • Points expiring within 60 days are used first
  • Recheck prices daily until the ticket deadline

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Minimum value per point (default 1.5 cents)
  • Programs tracked
  • Status goals per client
  • Expiry warning period (default 60 days)
  • Price recheck frequency

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Travel agent approves the booking choice before it is made

Hard limits

  • Never logs into accounts without the client's consent
  • Does not guess program rules, it checks the terms

It stops when

  • Done: booking recommended and approved
  • Stop: rules are unclear, check the program terms

An example run

What happensA client wants a $1,800 flight or 70,000 points. The points option is worth 2.4 cents each, but a cheaper fare class earns no status credits and the client is 600 credits from the next tier. The agent recommends paying cash in the credit-earning fare. A day later the price drops $90 and the agent keeps the choice. The agent approves.
