Travel Smarter · Partner API

The airline loyalty layer, as an API

Tier rules, earning tables, transfer ratios and card mechanics for 150+ loyalty programmes — normalised, versioned and kept current by the team that already runs them in production.

Plus the engines behind Travel Smarter® itself: what a balance is worth, whether a traveller will requalify, and which card earns most on a given spend.

Two products, one schema

Reference API

The data nobody wants to maintain

Tier thresholds, qualifying rules, earning tables, partner airlines, transfer partners and ratios. One schema, one changelog. Programmes devalue quietly and often; we track it so your product never quotes a rate that stopped being true in March.

  • 150+ programmes across every major alliance
  • Change webhooks, so you know what moved and when
  • Cache it freely — you're licensed, not throttled

Optimisation API

The engines behind the answer

Points valuation, status forecasting, award search across partner space, and card earning simulation built on composable mechanics: sign-up bonus, spend milestone, multiplier, base earn.
