Four weeks since launch. The corrections log.

Most points blogs never publish a corrections list. Either they don't keep one or they don't want to. The bet I made when launching Points Radar was that being correct is the only durable edge against the bigger blogs. So the corrections list lives in public. Below is everything readers flagged across r/awardtravel on 2026-04-13 and r/ChaseSapphire on 2026-05-12 (the four-week follow-up post), plus a handful of items we caught ourselves, with what changed and where you can verify it.

Data corrections (where the numbers were wrong)

Cathay Pacific First Class was on the wrong program. The launch sweet-spot list said you could book CX First with Alaska Mileage Plan. Auracity flagged it on the launch thread, calling the inventory "straight up delusional." They were right. We re-pointed the redemption to Cathay's own Asia Miles and corrected the points figure to 130,000 (our tracked sweet-spot list, audited 2026-04-13). Same launch day we added "verify on the airline site" links to every TicketCard so a wrong-program error like this gets caught the next time.

ANA vs JAL. ry-yo caught us labeling an ANA sweet spot as JAL. The two airlines partner with entirely different programs (Virgin Atlantic Flying Club books ANA, not JAL; Alaska books JAL among others). Fixed within the hour and added a "this is ANA, not JAL" line to the booking tips so the data file warns future readers about the most-common confusion.

Turkish Miles&Smiles business to Istanbul was off by 20K points. G0BigOrG0Home flagged it: we had 45,000 miles for US to IST on Turkish metal. The right number is 65,000, the post-devaluation saver rate (our tracked sweet-spot list, audited 2026-04-13; cross-checked against Turkish's own chart at turkishairlines.com, 2026-04-13). The 45K rate had been correct in 2023 and lived on in aggregator sites for over a year. Fixed in the same launch-day batch.

Bilt's transfer partners had two entries that don't exist. menoneedaccount caught this on the r/ChaseSapphire post: "Bilt can't transfer to American." They were right. Our data/partners.json had Bilt listed as transferring to both American AAdvantage and Emirates Skywards. Bilt has never transferred to American, and the Emirates partnership ended before our cutoff. Removed both partner entries plus three sweet-spot rows that depended on them, and corrected two blog posts (our Bilt audit, 2026-05-12; cross-checked against Bilt's published transfer partners on bilt.com, 2026-05-12). Bilt's actual partners verified on bilt.com on 2026-05-12: United, Alaska / Hawaiian, Southwest, British Airways, JAL, Air France / KLM Flying Blue, Virgin Atlantic, Aeroplan, Turkish, Aer Lingus, TAP, and Iberia. A wider Bilt audit to add the partners we're still missing is on the open-items list below.

ANA First Class via Virgin Atlantic is phone-only, not online. findflightsforme and ComprehensiveComb590 flagged this on the r/ChaseSapphire thread. Our sweet-spot page had told readers to search availability on virginatlantic.com. Virgin Atlantic's site does not show ANA award availability and cannot ticket partner ANA online (One Mile at a Time, 2024-08-26; Upgraded Points, 2026-04-30). The right flow: find space on Seats.aero or united.com or aircanada.com, then call Virgin Atlantic Flying Club at +1-800-365-9500 to hold the seat, transfer points, and confirm. Shipped 2026-05-13 across the radar's booking walkthrough, the sweet-spot page body, and the underlying JSON data. ANA via Virgin Atlantic is our #2 most-clicked sweet spot post-launch (our PostHog event stream, 2026-05-13), which made it the correction we shipped fastest.

Park Hyatt Maldives Hadahaa cutover date. This one we caught ourselves while drafting a deal-alert post. The 2026-02-25 Hyatt announcement set the chart restructure effective on 2026-05-20, not 2026-05-07 like we'd initially queued. The deal-alert and the sweet-spot JSON both got the corrected date (Hyatt newsroom award chart updates, 2026-02-25; cross-referenced against Frequent Miler, 2026-02-26 and Award Wallet's Hyatt chart, 2026-02-27). Captured the lesson in our internal learnings doc as "dated deadlines drift between announcement and execution; re-verify on the day of the edit."

UI fixes (where the product confused people)

Transfer-bonus visibility on cards. ABencks (17 upvotes, the most-upvoted reply on the r/ChaseSapphire thread) asked how the 37,500 Chase UR figure for Flying Blue was being calculated. They couldn't tell that the +20% bonus had already been baked in. The redemption costs 45,000 Flying Blue miles at the chart rate; the active +20% UR transfer bonus drops the source-currency cost to 37,500 UR. We shipped a "+20% applied" chip on each affected card, switched the stub to render the issuer-currency cost (so the number matches the balance currency the reader entered, not the partner's), and added a "= 45K" sub-line beneath the points so the underlying chart rate is visible without a tooltip (live on every relevant card across the radar).

City and country labels beneath each IATA. Primary-Walrus-5623 flagged that newer users couldn't always parse codes like NRT or HKG. Each card endpoint now stacks the IATA over a "city, country" sub-label (NRT becomes "Tokyo Narita, Japan"; CDG becomes "Paris, France"). Expanded the underlying city-name map to cover the US, Canadian, and Mexican gateways we'd been showing as bare three-letter codes.

Hotel cards now look like hotels. Same reader flagged that hotels were rendering with the same gateway → arrow → destination layout as flights, which made them visually indistinguishable. Hotel cards now use a hotel glyph and a single destination line, with "Per night" on the stub instead of the cabin-style flight label. The hero-variant worth label also switched to "Worth/nt" so the per-night framing is obvious.

Mobile walkthrough Step 2 was stuck. Responsible-Voice648 couldn't proceed past Step 2 of 4 in the booking walkthrough on their phone. The Next button was sitting below the visible viewport. iOS Safari's address bar overlays the layout viewport, and the modal had been sized in 100vh. Switched to 100dvh (the dynamic-viewport unit), moved the modal to a bottom-sheet layout on screens 520px and narrower, and added safe-area-inset-bottom padding so the Next button clears the iPhone home indicator. The empty-state copy on the same card also got a rewrite from the developer-speak "Availability lands here once the ledger is wired" to a plain-English explanation of when no space is open and what to do next.

Feedback button overlap with the walkthrough. ElectricalYou4805 noticed the floating feedback button was overlapping the Next CTA inside the booking walkthrough. The button now hides itself whenever any modal is open, via a small global event the walkthrough fires on mount and unmount.

Still on the open-items list

The full list of feature asks across the launch threads ran longer than what shipped. Same logic as the corrections list above: surface the open ones in public.

• Direct airline-program balances (Alaska, Aeroplan, Virgin Atlantic first). Three readers (qtmcjingleshine, ShutUpAndSmokeMyWeed, AlphaPlus14) asked for the ability to enter balances they hold directly in an airline program, instead of only via transferable issuer points. Building this means a balance-entry update, a "you hold this directly" indicator on the cards, and cross-program math when combining direct balances with transferable ones.
• Promo Award vs base-chart rate flag. Secondary ask from ABencks after the bonus-visibility chip: surface when a displayed cost is a time-limited Promo Award (like Flying Blue's 45K Europe rate) versus the base chart rate (60K Flying Blue standard).
• Domestic deals and Hawaii region. Historical-Exit-8307 pointed out the curated region tabs are international-only today. Domestic + Hawaii (Aeroplan to HNL, Hawaiian's chart, Alaska's interisland) is a real gap.
• Accra (ACC) destination data check. Maths-Drummer couldn't find ACC as a destination from a US gateway. Delta and United both fly direct ORD-ACC and JFK-ACC; data needs a sweep to confirm the destination is properly tagged.
• Wider Bilt audit. Adding the partners we're still missing (Southwest, JAL, Aer Lingus, TAP, Iberia, Hilton, Accor, Wyndham), plus the same audit on Citi ThankYou, Capital One Miles, and Amex Membership Rewards.

How to flag the next one

Easiest path: comment on whatever you see wrong on the radar using the floating "feedback" button in the bottom-right corner. Reddit DMs and replies on the launch threads also reach me. The faster I hear about something wrong, the faster it ships back fixed and shows up in the next month's corrections log.
