Can you afford this award?

Every award search answers a question most tools never ask: can you actually book this with the points you hold?

Sign in, keep your wallet up to date, and every award results table carries a verdict per program, computed from your balances and the live bank-transfer graph, not from wishful thinking. Here's a real render of the component, on an example wallet:

A live render of the actual results component (example wallet: 62,000 Aeroplan, 12,000 ANA, 10,000 Flying Blue + bank points).

The three verdicts

✓ Covered: your balance in that program already covers the cheapest option. Aeroplan above: 55,000 needed, 62,000 held.
⇄ Via transfer: your program balance falls short, but a bank currency you hold transfers in to cover it. ANA above: 12,000 held, and 63,000 Amex Membership Rewards close the gap (2–3 days). Rows reachable this way carry a VIA TRANSFER tag.
✗ Short: neither your balance nor any transfer covers it. Flying Blue above: 80,000 short. That's not a dead end, see The funding plan.

What we will never do

No invented numbers. Verdicts come only from balances you entered and transfer ratios from the live partner graph; when something is unknown, the UI shows "—" rather than a guess. Purchase pricing, when shown, always carries its source and as-of date.
