| 2025-01-18 |  | | en | Certainly significant privacy and security concerns. But, also, it clearly does not work correctly for Alaska Mileage Plan. I also think the explanation to another reviewer below: "If you didn't find any points prices on a particular search, it's because those airline programs currently don't have any availability. That's the fault of the airlines, not Points Path" is ridiculous. I made numerous searches with Points Path showing "not available with miles" and could easily cross check with Alaska and see that there's LOTS of availability. Not ready for prime time. |
| 2024-12-10 |  | | en | Very promising and potentially helpful, though giving access to google.com (instead of google.com/travel) and access to a localhost URL is sketchy. Would update my review to 5 stars if those two were updated (no localhost, and not requiring my full google URL tracking which includes my searches) |
| 2024-12-09 |  | | en | Wow this is a fantastic extension. Super neat to see the detail, it loads quickly, and, while I have a slightly different "value per mile" i might apply in my head, the transparency and ability to see all this data in one place is incredible!!! For those on the fence (or who might have read negative reviews)...USE IT. IT'S GREAT. And the other reviews seem to be "user error" based on how simple these actions are. It's so easy to use! |

| 2024-11-29 |  | | en | After closing down my browser and taking a break from trying to figure out why there were no points showing on my flight searches, I re-opened, did a flight search and a spinning circle appeared where points are supposed to show up. The only points information I received there was: "Airline program not yet covered by points path", "could not load data", and "not available w/miles". Now I see that there is a paid version so it may be that I need to pay before this works. Not unusual for most apps. My mistake for not seeing it and realizing it before spending so much of my time trying to figure it out this afternoon. |
| 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. |
