Julian Keel built PointsPath, a free Chrome extension that shows whether paying cash or using frequent-flyer miles is the better deal on Google Flights. There are 30 trillion unused miles worldwide because people can't find award flights or compare prices. The extension launched six weeks ago and already has 5,000 installations.
This founder has 60 seconds to pitch their business. Watch to the end to see how much I would invest. I'm Julian Keel. I'm the founder of Pointspath, and my business is helping people find the best way to use their frequent flyer miles in just 5 seconds. Everyone has the same problem with frequent flyer miles. They can't find flights they actually want to use them for, and even when they do, they don't know whether they're getting a good deal. That's why there's over 30 trillion frequent flyer miles sitting unused in people's accounts. Pointspath is a Google Chrome extension that runs on top of Google Flights. When you use Google Flights, PointsPath adds the prices in miles to the results and then indicates whether using miles or cash is the better deal. We launched PointsPath about 6 weeks ago to an invite-only audience. Over 5,000 people have installed it already, with more on the waiting list. It's entirely free to use. We make money through affiliate content focused on travel credit cards and travel products. I was the editorial director of The Points Guy. I was a senior travel editor at CNN. I always wanted a way to help people use their miles without having to dive through a website or a blog. Now, with PointsPath, I can be there every time they're searching for flights and help them automatically.
