Frequently Asked Questions

Embarka turns your dates, travelers and preferences into a day-by-day itinerary. Cards and memberships are optional: add them if you want suggestions on how to use points or museum reciprocal benefits.

Embarka uses your dates, travelers and preferences (plus cards or memberships if you add them) to build a day-by-day itinerary with Claude AI, then flags what to book or check first.

Yes, just ask in the chat. You can refine any part of your plan through conversation—swap restaurants, add activities, adjust timing, or change destinations.

Any destination worldwide. The AI has knowledge of attractions, restaurants, and activities globally.

Door-to-door: arrival logistics, activities with times, restaurant recommendations, and payment optimization for every booking.

Chase Sapphire Reserve, Chase Sapphire Preferred, Amex Platinum, Amex Gold, Capital One Venture X, and more. We’re continually adding support for additional cards.

If you add your card names and points balances, Embarka uses published portal rates and transfer rules to suggest which card fits each booking, and estimates how much of the flight cost your points could cover (Chase and Capital One today). It is an estimate: you redeem points with your card issuer, and Embarka never books or moves points.

No. You manually enter your card type and points balance. We never access your financial accounts.

Programs like ASTC, ACM, and ROAM that give your local membership free or discounted admission at museums nationwide. A single membership can unlock hundreds of museums when you travel.

Most reciprocal programs exclude museums within 90 miles of your home museum. Embarka automatically accounts for this when building your itinerary so you never show up expecting free admission and get turned away.
