Never earn zero miles.

I built MileMaxx because I was forever getting to checkout and realising I’d forgotten the portal again. It sits quietly in your browser and gives you a nudge when a shop you’re on could be earning Avios, Virgin Points or hotel points through an official portal.

The plain version

A few things MileMaxx isn’t.

Points tools can get slippery quite quickly. So before the pitch, here’s the bit I’d rather be clear about.

  • Not a cashback app.

    It doesn’t pay you cash. It just points you to the official portal so the points still track properly.

  • Not a credit card recommender.

    It doesn’t tell you which card to use. That bit is still up to you.

  • Not a travel booking tool.

    It has nothing to do with booking flights. This is just for the shopping you were already doing.

  • Not a “hack.”

    Nothing clever or grey-area. It only surfaces official, public shopping portals.

  • Not an affiliate funnel.

    There’s no affiliate injection in the extension. No surprise redirects. No link rewrites. No nonsense in your browser.

  • Not a replacement for judgment.

    It shows you the options and leaves you to it. It never auto-clicks on your behalf.

How it works

Three steps, then it leaves you alone.

  1. 01

    Install it and pick your portals.

    Turn on the shopping portals you actually care about. Leave the rest off and MileMaxx keeps its nose out.

  2. 02

    Shop as usual.

    If one of your portals covers the shop you’re on, a small badge appears in the toolbar. No popups all over the page. No hijacked tabs.

    Tip: Pin MileMaxx to your toolbar and it becomes much easier to forget about until you actually need it.

  3. 03

    Open it if you want to.

    If you fancy going through the portal, click it. If you don’t, leave it. MileMaxx won’t do anything on its own.

I publish the real numbers each month.

The Monthly Ledger is where I put what MileMaxx caught, what it missed, and the arithmetic behind both. Same format every time. Conservative valuations. No fantasy numbers.
