About
An advisory, not a booking engine.
The Mileage Accountant exists to close the gap between what your points are worth on paper and what they are worth in a seat. We work with a small number of clients at a time, we quote a flat fee before we start, and we tell you when the correct answer is to hold your points and pay cash instead.
We are not a blog, a subscription tool, an affiliate site, or a call center. Every booking is handled directly by a member of the team.
12 — The team
A small, trained team that works every booking directly.
You will not be handed to a call center.

Agency partnership
Hotel reservations are placed through our affiliated agency partnership, which allows us to secure consortium benefits at participating properties.
10 — Account handling
Your points remain yours.
This section matters more than it appears to, and most services in this category do not address it at all. We structure our engagements to keep you compliant with the programs you hold.
Bookings are made in your name, in your account
Awards are ticketed in your own loyalty account for you and the travelers you designate. We do not pool client balances, and we do not book your award into an account you do not control.
You authorize each transfer explicitly
No points move without your specific instruction on that specific booking. We present the option, the cost, and the risk, and you decide.
We tell you when a program's terms are restrictive
Where a carrier's rules limit third-party assistance, we say so before you engage rather than after. In some cases the right answer is for us to prepare the booking and for you to execute it yourself.
Passwords are not a default requirement
We work from balance information you provide and from access arrangements you are comfortable with. Where a booking requires action inside your account, we can prepare everything and walk you through execution.
Loyalty program terms change without notice. You remain responsible for compliance with the terms of any program in which you hold an account. Nothing on this website is legal advice.
14 — Getting started
The first conversation
costs nothing.
Tell us what you hold and where you would like to go. We will tell you honestly what is achievable, what it could cost in miles and cash, and whether it is worth doing now.
If your points are better held for another six months, that is the advice you will receive.
