A few years ago, we were helping our parents plan a trip to Italy. A trip they'd been talking about for decades. When we looked at their credit card statements, we couldn't believe what we found.
Between their three cards, they had over 340,000 points — enough for two round-trip business class tickets to Rome, plus a week in a boutique hotel. Points they'd been earning for fifteen years and never once used.
When we told them, the response wasn't excitement. It was confusion:
“We have what? How do we even use those?”
That's the moment WanderWise was born. Not because the points system is broken — but because it was never designed for people like our parents. It was designed for 30-year-old tech enthusiasts who love spreadsheets and acronyms. For everyone else? It's deliberately confusing.
We built WanderWise to fix that. To be the patient, trustworthy guide that translates the language of travel rewards into plain English — and if you'd rather not learn it at all, to simply handle it for you.
