Jack Culpan The story behind the open, agent-native award travel platform

Built by a points traveler tired of tab-juggling.

Hi, I'm Jack — full-time points traveler, creator of Award Travel Finder, and the writer behind Smart With Points. After years of bouncing between airline sites and award search tools to plan one trip, I built what I always wanted: the AI Award Travel Brain, on top of the programs you already use.

Smart With Points Newsletter

I also run Smart With Points, a newsletter dedicated to helping travelers maximize their points and miles. Through this platform, I share insider tips, hidden sweet spots, and strategies I've developed through years of points-based travel.

Living the Points Life

I'm currently living the digital nomad lifestyle, traveling full-time throughout Asia using points and miles. This journey has allowed me to experience luxury travel at a fraction of the cost and discover incredible destinations across the continent.

Why I built Award Travel Finder.

After years of tab-juggling between airline sites, award search tools, and loyalty trackers to plan a single trip, I built awardtravelfinder.com to collapse all of that into one conversation.

The result is the AI Award Travel Brain — a hosted, agent-first service that plugs into your cards, your hotel folios, and the best of the open MCP travel ecosystem. Sign in once, connect what you use, and ask in plain English. The Brain reasons across every program you can transfer to, learns how you actually like to travel, and tells you exactly how to book.

Open. Hosted. BYOK. Anti-positioning vs. closed players like point.me — you own your data, your subscriptions, and you can use it on the web, in Claude, in ChatGPT, or anywhere MCP runs.
