| 2024-10-21 |  | | en | Hello folks! I'm Julian, the founder and CEO of Points Path. Google doesn't provide a way for us to communicate with users through the Web Store, so I'm posting this temporary review as a way to keep everyone updated. As of 10/23/24, we are working to solve an issue where users have to log in repeatedly. As a temporary measure, we have extended the search window out to 180 days without needing to log in. We'll have another update shortly. Thanks for your patience! |
| 2024-09-24 |  | | en | Unlike similar extensions, this one does not work unless you create an account and login the extension into the account. It looks like a data mining tool trying to benefit from Google Flights' popularity. In today's security sensitive world, it makes no sense to provide them your email for merely doing some searches. |
| 2024-09-13 |  | | en | This is a fantastic extension. Beyond the search function, it's incredibly helpful in recommending whether to use points or cash. I'd love to know more about the criteria they use for these evaluations. If they expanded to include more reward programs, I'd definitely consider making a donation or purchasing a premium version. Great work! |
| 2024-09-01 |  | | en | the feature I've always wanted |
| 2024-08-28 |  | | en | Great concept. Has now become the single most annoying plug in I have. Pops up EVERY TIME that I search flight on google flights. 95% of the time I use google flights I am NOT looking for award flights. Deleting it. Just not worth the high level of annoyance. |
| 2024-08-20 | | | en | Hi folks. Julian here, the founder of Points Path. I'm posting this as a temporary review because Google doesn't provide any other way for us to make an announcement on the Points Path extension page. But I wanted to let you know that, after an outage last week due to changes in Google Flights, as of 8/26/24, a small handful of users are still having issues with Points Path. The reason is that Google is presenting a slightly altered version of Google Flights to a small percentage of its users (we estimate about 10% or so). This new version doesn’t change what you as a user sees from Google Flights, but it does affect Points Path, and it's the reason Points Path currently isn't working for a limited number of people. We believe we've solved the problem, and we’ve submitted an update to the extension for Google’s approval, which we hope to have in the next day or so. I'll update this message once it's live. Thanks again for your patience and for using Points Path! |
| 2024-08-20 |  | | en | I just downloaded and found the chrome extension super helpful in my search! This is so cool, I'm glad I found this tool. |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | en | Too many notifications. Not to mention the annoying massive red error every time i search multi city |
| 2024-08-19 |  | | en | Great idea, but unfortunately does not work. I installed and uninstalled and installed again. I also tried all the tips and steps in the FAQ section of the site all to no avail. Great in theory but unfortunately didn't work for me in practice. |
| 2024-08-13 |  | | en | helpful, clean looking tool, 5! |
