transfer-partners

To calculate the cheapest transferable points currency, cross-reference award flight prices with issuer transfer ratios and point valuations to compute effective points required and cash-equivalent opportunity cost. The Skill outputs markdown comparison tables and recommends the lowest-cost transferable currency.

Yes, seats.aero award availability results can be mapped directly to transfer partner ratios. The Skill cross-references these awards with issuer transfer ratios using local transfer-partners.json data to determine the most cost-effective points transfer path.

You need local JSON data files named transfer-partners.json and points-valuations.json. These files contain the loyalty program transfer ratios and point valuations required to compute points needed and opportunity cost for award flight comparisons.

You can automate transfer partner point valuation comparisons using the optional jq recipes provided by the Skill. These recipes process the local JSON data files to compute effective points required and opportunity cost across transferable currencies.

The best way to compare point valuations across transferable currencies is to compute opportunity cost using your local points-valuations.json file. The Skill generates markdown comparison tables showing effective points required and cash-equivalent value to recommend the optimal currency.

Opportunity cost calculations reflect the cash-equivalent value of your points based on points-valuations.json. A higher opportunity cost means the transfer ratio for that specific currency requires more points, making it less efficient than alternative transferable currencies for that award.
