Context

AwardHacker shut down March 30, 2026.

No recommendations. No advice. Just the math.

FAQ

Common questions

AwardHacker, a popular free award flight search tool, shut down on March 30, 2026 and is no longer available. LiveSimpli offers a free cash-vs-points calculator for travelers looking for an alternative.

Yes. Basic cash-vs-points comparisons are free with no account required. Creating a free account adds program portfolio tracking, devaluation email alerts, and hotel comparisons.

CPP, or cents per point, is a way to measure redemption value relative to cash. If a flight costs $300 cash or 30,000 points, the implied CPP is 1.0¢/point. LiveSimpli shows the math; we don't tell you what to do with it.

World of Hyatt revised its award tier chart in May 2026, increasing point requirements at some properties. LiveSimpli's comparison uses current illustrative baselines so you can see what the math looks like after the change.

No. LiveSimpli is a math tool. All comparisons use illustrative CPP baselines from current publicly available market data and are for informational purposes only. They do not constitute financial or travel advice.
