About AwardReserve

A points portfolio diagnostic for sophisticated hobbyists. Built so the people who already use Point.me, Pointsyeah, Roame, and AwardWallet can see what changed this week without opening eight tabs.

Who built this

SF
Stephen Fung
Founder & sole maintainer hello@awardreserve.com

I’ve been a points hobbyist since 2014 — Chase, Amex, Hyatt, Aeroplan, the usual sophisticated stack. I built AwardReserve because I kept losing value to small things: a 70%-off transfer bonus I missed by a day, an Avianca balance that quietly hit its activity clock. The tools I already paid for solved search; nothing solved portfolio diagnostics. AwardReserve is what I wish I’d had.

Not a financial advisor. Recommendations are educational; verify in your card’s transfer portal before moving points.

How we make decisions

  • 1Verified beats vibes. Every fact carries a source URL and a verification date. The advisor refuses to invent point costs from training data.
  • 2Affiliate compensation never overrides recommendations.When affiliate links launch (Q3 2026), they’re flagged with FTC disclosures. The advisor recommends what we’d pick ourselves, not what pays best.
  • 3Local-first today. Your balances live in your browser; no account required. When we ship cloud sync, your data is yours — never sold, never shared.
