WHOLE-TRIP TRAVEL OPTIMIZATION

Get more from every trip.

MaxVacay turns a household's cards, points, budget and travel goals into one coordinated plan — then helps decide what to earn, transfer, book, pay cash for, where to stay and what to do.

THE PRODUCT

Travel rewards should work backward from the trip.

Most tools optimize one decision at a time. MaxVacay is being built to coordinate the full household travel system across current balances, future earning, real trip goals and booking opportunities.

01

Plan around real trips

Model flights, hotels and other trip components by traveler count, timing, comfort and practical family constraints.

02

Optimize the next dollar

Recommend the card and rewards currency that best supports the household's actual trip plan, not just the biggest category multiplier.

03

Turn availability into action

Separate "points could cover it" from "award space exists" and from "book now," with transfer-safety and cash-vs-points logic built in.

04

Optimize the whole trip

Expand the same decision model into cash hotels, dining, attractions, transfers, entertainment and post-booking travel spend.

PARTNERSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

We want the best provider to win the recommendation.

MaxVacay is designed to be provider-agnostic. We are evaluating partners that can improve the traveler experience while supporting sustainable commercial economics.

Award data & monitoring

Availability APIs, alerts and deep links

We are evaluating commercial partners for cached discovery, live verification, scheduled monitoring, display rights and tracked handoffs.

Travel booking

Hotels, flights, cars and trip components

Cash booking inventory can sit beside points options so users can choose the best net value instead of forcing an award redemption.

Experiences & dining

Things to do after the flight is booked

Attractions, tours, transfers and dining can be ranked by traveler fit and practicality, with eligible commissions attached after ranking.

Loyalty & financial partners

Cards, benefits and rewards ecosystems

MaxVacay can help surface the right benefit, card or rewards path in context — without allowing compensation to determine the recommendation.

WHY MAXVACAY

High-intent context without pay-to-rank recommendations.

A MaxVacay handoff can happen after the product already knows the travelers, destination, timing, point balances, trip component and preferred payment path. That creates more useful partner traffic than a generic travel click.

01

Recommendation first. Partner compensation is attached only after the underlying recommendation is determined.

02

Family practicality matters. Seat count, room fit, schedules and traveler preferences are part of the decision, not afterthoughts.

03

Points are not free. Flexible rewards carry opportunity cost, and cash remains a valid recommendation.

04

No speculative transfers. Availability should be verified before an irreversible transfer whenever possible.
