Saver Award
The lowest published award level a program offers — typically 1-2 seats per flight.
Full definition
A saver award is the cheapest point price a loyalty program will allow for a given flight. Airlines with published charts (Aeroplan, Alaska, Turkish, ANA) use saver as the floor. Airlines with dynamic pricing (Delta, late-era United, American own-metal) set saver internally and release only a limited number of seats at this level per flight.
Saver availability is the practical constraint on premium cabin awards. Searching "is there a saver seat" is exactly what AwardLocker automates.
