Award travel is powerful, but the ecosystem is chaotic.

Great redemptions come from a mix of things happening at once — airline inventory drops, transfer bonuses, program changes, and insights shared across blogs and communities. The problem is keeping up with it all.

Most people end up refreshing airline searches, reading multiple blogs, scanning Reddit, and hoping they catch something before it disappears.

So I built AwardClaw.

AwardClaw is an agent that continuously monitors the award travel ecosystem and surfaces actionable insight. Not just raw information.

The platform combines two key signals: 1. Award travel intelligence We track news, offers, program changes, and discussions across the award travel community to surface insights that may create redemption opportunities.

2. Real-time round-trip award flight drops We continuously scan airline award inventory and highlight RT international award seats when they suddenly appear. We focus specifically on round-trip drops because those are typically the most practical and bookable opportunities.

Still early and expanding quickly — adding more airlines, monitoring sources, and improving the signal detection.

Would love feedback from the HN community!

Great idea. The cruise line space has the same dynamic — prices fluctuate constantly after you book, and if you catch a lower fare the cruise lines will often give you onboard credit or other perks. But they don't proactively tell you about it, so you have to keep checking yourself. An agent that continuously monitors for these kinds of opportunities is exactly the right approach.
