What is Stayplot?

The problem

If you carry Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, a Hilton Aspire and a Marriott Bonvoy card, you have at least five separate ways to book a single property. Each one — chain points, Amex FHR, Amex THC, Chase Edit, Hilton Aspire — lives in its own siloed tool. None of them tell you the others exist.

When you're planning a trip, the result is a tab-spaghetti weekend: Hilton.com, Marriott Bonvoy, the Amex FHR portal, Chase Travel Edit, and a spreadsheet to track which property is in which program.

What Stayplot does

Every hotel that can be booked with at least one of these programs shows up on the map. One physical hotel = one pin, even when it's in multiple programs at once. Marriott, Hilton and IHG pins show the lowest points a night starts at right on the map, so you can scan a whole city at a glance. Tap any pin to see which programs cover it, the TripAdvisor rating, the hero image, and (for the chains we track) a live rate calendar with cash & points side-by-side — then book it on the chain’s own site in one tap.

• Points at a glance: every Marriott, Hilton and IHG pin is labelled with the lowest points a night starts at — no tapping, no spreadsheet — and a one-tap rating control keeps the map to top-rated (4★+) hotels or opens it up to all.
• Filter by your points balance: viewing a single program? A “points up to” slider narrows the map to the hotels your Marriott, Hilton, or IHG points can actually book — “I have 80k, where can I go?” Each program’s points are worth a different amount, so it’s one program at a time.
• Chain points: Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Wyndham, Choice
• Card-credit programs: Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts (FHR), Amex The Hotel Collection (THC), Chase Sapphire Reserve Edit, Hilton Aspire resort credit
• What a card credit is worth here: on Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts and The Hotel Collection properties, see at a glance whether the statement credit covers a full night, most of a night, or part of one — alongside the typical nightly rate — so you know the credit’s real value before you book.
• Per-hotel rate calendar: live points & cash by date for Marriott, Hilton and IHG, with the points cost as the headline and cash as the supporting detail. We also work out the best free-night redemption for you — Marriott’s Free Night Award (which frees the lowest-point night when you stay five), Hilton’s 5th night free, and IHG’s reward nights (every 4th night free). The next few weeks are free to browse; sign in (free) to open the full forward calendar. Currency picker (the hotel’s local currency, USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, TWD and more) so you don’t have to do the math.
• Book it where you found it: once you’ve picked a hotel, one tap takes you straight to the chain’s own site to book — Marriott, Hilton, IHG, Hyatt, Wyndham or Choice — or to Amex Travel for Fine Hotels & Resorts and The Hotel Collection stays. These go to the booking site itself, never an affiliate reseller — we earn nothing on the click.
• Save what you find: sign in with Google or a one-tap email link to keep a shortlist of hotels you’re considering — it’s there next time you open the map.
• Price & availability alerts: for Marriott, Hilton and IHG, set an alert on a hotel and we’ll email you when the points or cash price drops to a number you pick — or when a sold-out award night finally opens up. No more checking the same hotel every week.
• Your free-night cert wallet: save the Hilton, Marriott (35k/50k/85k) and IHG free-night certs you’re holding, with expiry dates, and we’ll flag the ones running out. Then on any hotel page, Plus shows what each cert is actually worth there — the cash value minus only the top-off points you’d add, with the full math shown. We don’t price the cert itself, so you can weigh it against whatever it cost you.
• Search by name or destination: one box that finds a specific hotel or jumps to a city or region.
• Curated leaderboards — ranked lists of the redemptions worth caring about:
  • Best Marriott hotels for a Free Night Award — where a 35k, 50k, or 85k Free Night Award (you can top off with up to 25k points) buys the most hotel for the points.
  • Best Hilton Free Night cert hotels — where an Aspire Free Night cert delivers the most cash value.
  • Best Hilton 5-night points stays — where Hilton’s 5th-night-free benefit delivers the highest cents-per-point.
  • CSR Edit + Select Hotels Credit — properties where the $250 Edit credit stacks with the $250 Select Hotels Credit (2026 CSR benefit).
• Shareable map views: the Share button gives you a link that re-opens the exact map view — same filters, same location, same zoom — with a preview card for messaging apps.
• Research shortcuts: TripAdvisor rating + review count, hero image, and one-tap jumps to TripAdvisor and Google Maps.

Where we are now

All six chains and four card-credit programs above are on the map, with one pin per hotel and TripAdvisor ratings. For Marriott, Hilton and IHG, live rates put the points price on every pin and power the per-hotel calendar — including each chain’s free-night benefit (Marriott’s lowest-point night, Hilton’s 5th night, IHG’s 4th night). The Free Night leaderboards cover Marriott (Free Night Award, 35k / 50k / 85k) and Hilton (Free Night cert and 5th-night-free). You can jump straight from a pin to the chain’s own booking site — all six chains — or to Amex Travel for Fine Hotels & Resorts and The Hotel Collection stays; for those Amex properties, the pin also shows how much of a night the card credit typically covers. Sign in — free, with Google or a one-tap email link — to save hotels and open the full rate calendar. The CSR Edit + Select Hotels stacking list compares Chase’s two 2026 credits against each other so you can see where they combine for up to $500 per stay.

Next: live rates for the remaining chains — Hyatt, Wyndham, Choice — added one at a time, once the data for that program is reliable, not before. We’d rather ship a small slice that’s correct than a wide one that’s guessing.

Free and Plus

The map, the points price on every pin, the leaderboards, booking links, saved shortlists, the free-night cert wallet (with expiry tracking), and a few rate-calendar lookups a day are free forever. Plus ($7/mo, or $70/year — two months free) is for when you want to optimize: filter the map by TripAdvisor rating, find where a Free Night or an Amex credit is worth the most, see what each cert in your wallet is worth on any given hotel, run the 5th-night-free optimizer for your dates, and get higher daily limits (50 calendar lookups, 20 price alerts a day instead of a handful). One good redemption pays for a year of it. See the full pricing — every number is on the page, and you can cancel anytime.

Who builds this

A solo-founder side project from someone deep in the multi-card stack — Amex Plat, CSR, Hilton Aspire, Bonvoy — who spends too much time on the “where should I burn these points?” puzzle. Built in public, no VC, no affiliate — Plus subscriptions are the only way it makes money, so there’s never a reason to nudge you toward a worse booking.
