About
Hi, I'm Shlomo.
I live in Waterbury, Connecticut, and I've spent years obsessing over miles, points and getting the most out of every trip. Friends and family kept asking me to book their flights and figure out their points, so I'm opening it up.
When you message SmilesMaven, you're talking to me, a real person, not a call center. I'll treat your trip like it's my own.
What we do
Everything between “I have points” and “I'm on the plane.”
Award flight booking
We hunt for saver space across alliances and partner programs, including the routes everyone wants and nobody can find.
Hotels with points & status
Free nights, fourth-night-free deals, suite upgrades and elite perks, compared against the cash rate so you know when points are worth it.
Card benefits, maxed out
Travel credits, lounge access, free nights, companion fares, upgrades and insurance. We make sure you're using every perk your cards already give you.
Credit card recommendations
Which cards to open for the biggest sign-up bonuses, when to downgrade or close before the annual fee hits, and how to time it all. We help you open and close cards the smart way.
Changes, cancellations & rebooking
Schedule change? Cancelled flight? We work the options, get points and fees back where possible, and get you rebooked.
Ongoing monitoring
We keep an eye on expiring points, price drops on booked trips and better award space opening up, and tell you when it's time to act.
Who it's for
Built for people who travel a lot, or want to.
Singers, band leaders & performers on the road
Gigs in a different city every week? We handle the flights, hotels and last-minute changes, and make sure all that travel earns you free trips and upgrades.
Frequent travelers paying cash
You fly and stay a lot, pay cash every time, and the miles just pile up. Let's make them pay for the next trip.
Big balances, no plan
Hundreds of thousands of points sitting idle? Let's turn them into something before a program devalues them.
How it works
Three steps. You do the first one.

We find the best way to book it

Your choice. Then we keep watching for changes, price drops and points about to expire.

FAQ
Good questions.
How much does it cost?
It starts free, so you can test us on a real trip. After that, simple, transparent pricing, and early members get founding-member rates. Ask us and we'll tell you straight.
What happens after the free trial?
Nothing automatic. We never ask for a card to start. When the trial is up, we'll ask if you want to stay on as a member. If not, no hard feelings.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Month to month, no contract. Cancel with one message.
Is this safe?
Yes. Bookings are made directly with the airline, hotel or rental company, in your name and on your accounts. We never sell your information and only ask for what a booking needs.
What if I only have a few points?
Still worth a look. Sometimes the best move is a small transfer or the right card for the next trip. We'll tell you honestly if it isn't worth it yet.
Can you help with a trip that's already booked?
Yes. We can watch it for price drops, schedule changes and better seats, and help if something goes wrong.
