Straight about fit
Know what you are buying.
We would rather turn away a few people than take money for the wrong thing. So here is the honest version, including who should not buy.
- Not for you if you want a guaranteed award seat. Award space moves and nobody can promise it.
- Not for you if you want a course or a membership. This is planning work, done for you.
- Not for you if you want a free one-on-one consultation. Join the newsletter for free ideas; the Deep Dive is paid working time.
- Worth it for you if you have points, a trip in mind, and no patience for the research.
If a purchase is not what you expected, email us within 7 days and we will refund it. No argument.
Ready when you are
Bring the question.
Leave with a move.
The Deep Dive is one focused hour for the points decision you keep putting off. Bring your balances, rough dates and the trip you want to make possible.

FAQ
The questions everyone asks.
What exactly do I get?
The Deep Dive is a focused 60-minute working session on your points, cards and the trip you want next. We work through the options together and leave you with clear next moves. Full Trip Planning is quoted separately when you want us to handle the research and itinerary.
Can you help me pick the right credit cards?
Yes. Half the game is earning the right points in the first place. We map a personal card strategy to how you already spend, so every dollar works harder toward the trip you want, without chasing cards you will never use.
Do I have to share my passwords?
Never. We do not want and do not need your airline, hotel or credit-card logins. Your accounts stay entirely yours.
What does it cost?
Pointsaholic Deals is free. The Deep Dive is $199 CAD for a focused 60-minute working session. Full Trip Planning is quoted after we understand the trip.
What happens after I pay?
You land on a confirmation page with a short intake form, then pick your time from the calendar. Bring your points balances, your rough dates and the trip you want to make possible.
Can you guarantee award availability?
Honestly, no one can. Award space opens and vanishes by the hour. What we can do is tell you straight what is realistic with your points and dates, and chase it hard once we have a plan.
I'm new to points. Is this for me?
Join Pointsaholic Deals first. It is the free way to learn how Canadian points work and see the opportunities worth paying attention to. When you have a real trip or decision in front of you, book the Deep Dive.
