    How to Track Rewards and Manage Family Accounts with PointsYeah My Wallet

    Keeping track of your airline, hotel, and bank rewards shouldn’t require logging into multiple loyalty accounts.

    PointsYeah’s My Wallet brings your rewards together in one place, making it easy to view balances, store loyalty account numbers, and keep everything organized before your next trip.

    Every PointsYeah account includes access to My Wallet. PointsYeah Premium unlocks Family and Friends Points Wallet, automatic syncing with select bank and airline programs, and additional features for organizing rewards across multiple travelers.

    What Is My Wallet?

    My Wallet is your central hub for managing loyalty programs.

    Add your airline, hotel, and bank rewards accounts to view them in one place instead of signing in to each account individually. Depending on the program and your PointsYeah membership, you can either connect your account for automatic syncing or manually enter your balance.

    My Wallet also stores your loyalty account numbers, making them easy to find whenever you’re ready to book.

    Add Your Loyalty Programs

    Getting started only takes a few minutes.

    Open My Wallet and select Add a Program.

    From there, choose whether you’d like to add a:

    • Bank rewards program
    • Airline loyalty program
    • Hotel loyalty program

    PointsYeah Premium members can connect eligible bank and airline programs for automatic syncing. If syncing isn’t available, or you’re using a free account, you can manually enter your balance and update it whenever you’d like.

    Over time, your wallet becomes a single place to organize all of your travel rewards.

    Store Your Loyalty Account Numbers

    My Wallet does more than track balances.

    Each program can also store your loyalty account number, making it easy to reference or copy whenever you’re booking a flight or hotel.

    Instead of searching through emails or password managers, your account numbers are available directly from your wallet when you need them.

    Family and Friends Points Wallet

    Planning trips often means managing rewards across more than one traveler.

    With PointsYeah Premium, you can unlock Family and Friends Points Wallet, allowing you to organize rewards for up to five people in one place.

    In addition to your own Head Account, you can add up to four Family Accounts, each with their own airline, hotel, and bank rewards programs.

    Each account can:

    • Store loyalty account numbers.
    • Sync eligible bank and airline programs automatically.
    • Track manually entered balances for unsupported programs.

    At the top of your wallet, you’ll see a combined household rewards balance along with each person’s individual totals, making it easy to understand what rewards are available before planning a trip.

    You can also drag and drop Family Accounts to arrange them in the order that works best for you.

    Free vs. Premium

    Every PointsYeah account includes My Wallet, allowing you to organize your own loyalty programs in one place.

    Free members can:

    • Add airline, hotel, and bank rewards programs.
    • Store loyalty account numbers.
    • Track balances using manual updates.

    PointsYeah Premium expands My Wallet with:

    • Family and Friends Points Wallet.
    • Up to four additional Family or Friends Accounts.
    • Combined household rewards balances.
    • Automatic syncing with select bank and airline programs.
    • Additional tools for managing rewards across multiple travelers.

  • How to Search for Award Hotels with PointsYeah

    How to Search for Award Hotels with PointsYeah

    Finding the right hotel isn’t just about location. You also want to compare points rates, cash prices, loyalty programs, and booking options before making a reservation.

    PointsYeah brings that information together in one place, making it easy to search award hotels across supported loyalty programs and compare your options in seconds.

    Whether you’re planning a specific trip or simply comparing hotels in a destination, here’s how to get started.

    Before You Search

    For the best experience, sign in to your PointsYeah account before searching.

    A free account unlocks personalized search preferences, hotel alerts, and other features that make planning future trips easier.

    If you’re new to the platform, start with Getting Started with PointsYeah before running your first hotel search.

    Start a Hotel Search

    From the Hotel Search page, enter your:

    • Destination
    • Check-in and check-out dates
    • Number of rooms and guests
    • Preferred bank or hotel loyalty programs (optional)

    Then select Yeah! to begin searching.

    Review Your Search Results

    PointsYeah searches supported hotel loyalty programs and displays available properties in a single list.

    Each result includes information to help you compare hotels, including:

    • Hotel name
    • Hotel loyalty program
    • Points required per night
    • Cash price
    • Hotel category (when available)
    • Distance from your search location
    • Amenities
    • Guest ratings
    • Eligible transfer partners

    If you’d rather browse visually, switch to the interactive map to compare hotels by location.

    Refine Your Search

    The filter bar lets you narrow your results without starting over.

    Available filters include:

    • Hotel loyalty programs
    • Bank programs
    • Maximum points
    • Maximum cash price
    • Maximum distance
    • Hotel brand
    • Free Night Certificates
    • Suites only
    • Popular filters
    • Hide unavailable hotels

    As you adjust filters, your results update automatically so you can quickly focus on the hotels that fit your trip.

    Search Tip

    If your plans are flexible, try adjusting your travel dates or searching a slightly larger area. Hotel award pricing can vary significantly from one night to the next, even at the same property.

    You can also personalize your preferred loyalty programs and other search settings in How to Personalize Your Searches.

    Compare Hotel Details

    Selecting a hotel opens a detailed view with everything you need before booking.

    Depending on the property, you’ll see:

    • Award price
    • Cash price
    • Hotel loyalty program
    • Eligible transfer partners
    • Hotel category (when available)
    • Amenities
    • Ratings and reviews

    Selecting Yeah, Let’s Go takes you directly to the hotel’s booking page for your selected dates so you can complete your reservation.

    Check the Award Calendar

    Some hotels also show an Award Calendar.

    The Award Calendar lets you compare award pricing across multiple dates without running another search.

    For participating properties, you’ll see nightly points rates alongside cash prices, making it easier to identify lower-priced redemption dates if your schedule is flexible.

    Not every hotel offers an Award Calendar, but when available, it’s one of the fastest ways to compare award availability over time.

    Free vs. Premium

    Every PointsYeah account includes Hotel Search, with Premium adding additional tools for travelers who monitor hotel availability regularly.

    Free

    Free members can:

    • Search award hotels across supported loyalty programs.
    • Compare points and cash pricing.
    • Create up to 4 active Hotel Alerts.

    Premium

    PointsYeah Premium includes:

    • Up to 32 active Hotel Alerts.
    • Additional Premium search features across the platform.
    • Expanded tools for travelers planning multiple trips.

    If you frequently book hotels with points or monitor award availability before booking, Premium offers additional flexibility.

    How to Search for Award Flights with PointsYeah

    PointsYeah helps you search award flights across multiple airline loyalty programs in a single search, making it easier to compare redemption options without checking each airline individually.

    Whether you’re planning a specific trip or exploring flexible travel dates, this guide explains how to search for award flights, filter your results, and compare booking options.

    Before You Search

    For the best experience, sign in to your PointsYeah account before starting a search.

    A free account unlocks personalized search preferences, saved alerts, and other features that make planning future trips easier.

    If you’re new to the platform, start with Getting Started with PointsYeah to familiarize yourself with the basics.

    Start a Live Search

    From the Live Search page, enter your:

    • Departure airport
    • Arrival airport
    • Travel date
    • Number of travelers
    • Cabin
    • Preferred airline or bank programs (optional)

    Then select Yeah! to begin searching.

    PointsYeah homepage featuring live flight search widget.

    Review Your Search Results

    PointsYeah searches supported airline loyalty programs and displays available award flights in a single list.

    Each result includes key information to help you compare your options, including:

    • Airline and operating carrier
    • Cabin
    • Points required
    • Taxes and fees
    • Flight duration
    • Stops
    • Loyalty program
    • Transfer partners (when applicable)

    At the top of the page, you’ll also find filters that let you quickly narrow your results.

    Refine Your Search

    The filter bar lets you narrow your results without starting a new search.

    Available filters include:

    • Cabin

    • Airlines
    • Departure airports

    • Flight duration

    As you adjust filters, your results update automatically, making it easy to compare only the flights that match your preferences.

    Search Tip

    If your travel plans are flexible, try adding nearby airports or alternative destinations to your search. Award availability often varies between airports, even within the same region, and a small change in your itinerary may uncover additional redemption options.

    You can also personalize your default airports, preferred loyalty programs, and other search settings in How to Personalize Your Searches.

    Compare Your Booking Options

    Selecting a flight opens a detailed booking panel showing the different ways you may be able to book that itinerary.

    Depending on the flight, you may see options to:

    • Book directly with an airline loyalty program
    • Transfer points from an eligible bank rewards program
    • Purchase additional airline miles when available

    This view also displays important trip details, including taxes and fees, aircraft type, cancellation policies (when available), and transfer guidance where applicable.

    Free vs. Premium

    Every PointsYeah account includes access to Live Search, but Premium expands how much you can search in a single query.

    Free

    Free members can:

    • Search for one departure airport and one arrival airport.
    • Search across a 4-day travel window.
    • Create up to four active Points Price Alerts.

    Premium

    PointsYeah Premium adds additional flexibility for travelers comparing multiple airports or planning more complex trips.

    Premium members can:

    • Search up to three departure and three arrival airports.
    • Search across an 8-day travel window.
    • Compare more airport combinations in a single search.
    • Create up to 32 active Points Price Alerts.
    • Access additional Premium search features throughout the platform.

    If you regularly compare nearby airports or travel with flexible plans, Premium can help reduce the number of searches needed to find the right itinerary.

  • Introducing Family and Friends Points Wallet

    Introducing Family and Friends Points Wallet

    In most families, one person ends up tracking everyone’s points and planning the trips. That usually means bouncing between airline, hotel, and credit card accounts or relying on a spreadsheet that’s never quite up to date.

    Today, we’re launching Family and Friends Points Wallet, a new feature included with PointsYeah Premium that brings your household’s rewards together in one place.

    Instead of asking, “How many points do we have?” before every trip, you’ll already know.

    Everyone’s Points, on One Screen

    Your wallet can include up to five people in total: your own Head Account plus up to four Family Accounts.

    Each account holds that person’s bank, airline, and hotel rewards programs, just like your own. At the top of your wallet, you’ll see a combined household total, with each person’s balances listed underneath. When someone asks whether you have enough points for a trip, the answer is already there without jumping between multiple logins.

    It’s not just about balances. Each account can also store frequent flyer and hotel loyalty numbers, so they’re always available when you need them. You can copy any account number with a single click instead of digging through emails, screenshots, or text messages.

    You can connect eligible Chase, American Express, and Citi accounts to sync supported rewards automatically, including eligible co-branded airline and hotel credit cards. Other loyalty programs can be added manually, so everything lives together in one wallet.

    Getting Everyone into Your Family and Friends Points Wallet

    Family and Friends Points Wallet is available with PointsYeah Premium. And it couldn’t be easier to use.

    1. Add a program to your own account first. You’ll need at least one program in your own Head Account before you can add anyone else. If your wallet is empty, start there.

    2. Add a person. Give the account a name, such as “Mom” or “Sarah,” then add their bank, airline, and hotel programs, along with their loyalty account numbers.

    3. Repeat for up to four Family Accounts. Drag and drop each account to arrange them in whatever order works best for you.

    Everything is managed from your own wallet. To sync a family member’s supported accounts automatically, you’ll need their login credentials. If you’d rather not connect an account, you can always enter balances manually instead.

    Available Now

    Family and Friends Points Wallet is included with PointsYeah Premium, alongside automatic syncing with supported programs, a larger live search window, multi-airport search, and up to 32 price alerts.

    If you’re new to Premium, you can upgrade today to unlock Family and Friends Points Wallet and all of Premium’s travel planning tools.

  • Live Search Now Supports Up to Three Origins and Three Destinations

    Live Search Now Supports Up to Three Origins and Three Destinations

    PointsYeah Premium members can now search award flights using up to three origin airports and three destination airports in a single Live Search.

    The update expands one of Live Search’s most powerful features: comparing multiple routes at once to find the best award availability without running search after search.

    Premium members can now search:

    • Up to 3 origins and 3 destinations across a 4-day Live Search window.
    • Up to 3 origins and 1 destination, or 1 origin and 3 destinations, across an 8-day Live Search window.

    Whether you’re willing to drive to another airport or fly into a nearby city, the expanded search makes it easier to compare more possibilities in a single search.

    Why It Matters

    Award availability isn’t evenly distributed.

    The best itinerary might not depart from your closest airport. It might not arrive at your first-choice destination, either.

    Searching multiple airports at once helps you spot opportunities you might otherwise miss, such as:

    • Award space from one airport but not another.
    • Lower award prices on nearby routes.
    • More available seats from an alternate city.

    Instead of narrowing your options before you search, you can cast a wider net and compare the results side by side.

    See It in Action

    Imagine you’re planning a trip to Europe.

    You could search departures from:

    • Miami (MIA)
    • Tampa (TPA)
    • Orlando (MCO)

    while looking for flights into:

    • Paris (CDG)
    • London (LHR)
    • Frankfurt (FRA)

    Rather than running separate searches for every combination, Live Search compares them together within a single search window.

    That broader view makes it easier to identify which routes have the best availability, pricing, or number of seats before you decide where to book.

    Available Now

    The expanded Live Search is available now for PointsYeah Premium members on both desktop and mobile.

    If you’re already a Premium member, try adding an extra origin or destination to your next search and compare the results.

    If you’re new to Premium, you can upgrade to PointsYeah Premium to unlock expanded Live Search, automatic rewards syncing, Family and Friends Points Wallet, price alerts, and more.

  • How to Search Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts with PointsYeah

    How to Search Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts with PointsYeah

    PointsYeah makes it easier to browse hotels participating in Fine Hotels + Resorts® (FHR) and The Hotel Collection before you book through Amex Travel.

    Rather than searching one destination at a time, you can explore participating properties on an interactive map or in a list view, then narrow the results using filters that match your travel plans.

    This guide explains how to find eligible hotels and make the most of the search tools available in PointsYeah.

    Who Can Use Fine Hotels + Resorts®?

    Fine Hotels + Resorts® is available to eligible Card Members, including those with The Platinum Card® from American Express and The Business Platinum Card® from American Express, when booking eligible prepaid stays through Amex Travel.

    The Hotel Collection is available to eligible American Express Card Members and includes a separate collection of participating hotels with its own set of benefits.

    Search Fine Hotels + Resorts® Hotels Through PointsYeah

    To search participating hotels:

    1. Open Daydream Explorer Hotels.
    2. Enter a destination, or browse using the interactive map.
    3. Turn on the Fine Hotels + Resorts® filter.
    4. Review participating hotels in either Map View or List View.

    From there, you can continue refining your search using the available hotel filters.

    Refine Your Results

    PointsYeah includes several filters that can help narrow eligible properties.

    You can filter by:

    • Destination
    • Travel dates
    • Nightly price
    • Hotel program
    • Amenities
    • Map or list view

    These filters make it easier to compare participating properties before visiting Amex Travel to complete your booking.

    Compare Hotels Before You Book

    Once you’ve narrowed your results, you can compare participating hotels side by side.

    Depending on the property, you’ll see information such as:

    • Nightly rate
    • Hotel brand
    • Location
    • Loyalty program
    • Amenities

    This makes it easier to identify properties that fit your travel plans before completing your reservation through Amex Travel.

    A Few Things to Know

    PointsYeah helps you discover participating hotels, but reservations must still be completed through Amex Travel to receive eligible Fine Hotels + Resorts® or The Hotel Collection benefits.

    Hotel prices and availability may change, and eligibility for FHR or The Hotel Collection is determined by American Express.

  • Current Credit Card Transfer Bonuses

    Current Credit Card Transfer Bonuses

    Credit card transfer bonuses let you receive extra airline miles or hotel points when you transfer rewards from an eligible bank program. They can be a great way to reduce the number of credit card points needed for your next trip, but only if the promotion fits the redemption you already have in mind.

    Below are the current transfer bonuses available from major transferable rewards programs, including American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One Miles, Citi ThankYou Rewards, and more.

    We update this page throughout the month as new transfer bonuses are announced and existing promotions expire.

    Before You Transfer Your Points

    A transfer bonus doesn’t automatically make a transfer worthwhile.

    Before moving your rewards, make sure you’ve found award availability and confirmed that the airline or hotel program works for your trip. In most cases, transfers from credit card rewards programs are one-way and cannot be reversed.

    If you’re new to transfer bonuses, read our guide to What Is a Credit Card Transfer Bonus? to learn how they work and when they make sense to use.

    How PointsYeah Helps

    Transfer bonuses become much more useful when you can immediately see how they affect the cost of an award.

    When a current transfer bonus applies to an eligible flight search, PointsYeah factors the promotion into the search results, making it easier to understand how many bank points you’ll actually need to complete the transfer.

    Instead of calculating the bonus yourself, you can focus on comparing award options and deciding which redemption makes the most sense.

    Looking for More Ways to Save Points?

    Transfer bonuses are just one way to make your rewards go further.

    United Upgrade Alerts help you monitor upgrade availability on eligible United-operated flights without repeatedly checking for space yourself.

    Once you create an alert, PointsYeah monitors upgrade availability and notifies you when your selected upgrade becomes available.

    United Upgrade Alerts are available with PointsYeah Premium.

    What Can United Upgrade Alerts Monitor?

    United Upgrade Alerts can track eligible upgrades on United-operated flights using:

    • PlusPoints
    • MileagePlus miles
    • MileagePlus miles with a cash copay

    Partner-operated and codeshare flights are not currently supported.

    How to Create a United Upgrade Alert

    Creating an alert takes a few steps.

    Enter:

    • Your departure airport
    • Your arrival airport
    • Your travel date (or date range)
    • An optional United flight number if you only want to monitor a specific flight

    Once your alert is saved, PointsYeah begins monitoring automatically.

    How Monitoring Works

    PointsYeah adjusts how often it checks upgrade availability based on how close your departure date is.

    • For travel more than a month away, alerts are checked approximately once per day.
    • As your departure approaches, monitoring becomes more frequent.
    • During the final days before departure, availability is checked as often as once per hour.

    If an eligible upgrade becomes available, you’ll receive a notification.

    How Many Alerts Can I Create?

    United Upgrade Alerts are included with PointsYeah Premium.

    Premium members can create up to 32 active United Upgrade Alerts.

    Each travel date counts as one active alert.

    You can pause or delete alerts at any time to free up available alert slots.

    How You’ll Be Notified

    When PointsYeah detects eligible upgrade availability that matches your alert, you’ll receive a notification so you can return to United and request or confirm your upgrade.

    Notifications are available through:

    • Email
    • Your My Alerts dashboard

    Things to Know

    United Upgrade Alerts monitor upgrade availability on eligible United-operated flights only.

    If you’re monitoring an entire route, PointsYeah checks all eligible United flights between your selected airports. If you enter a specific flight number, only that flight is monitored.

    Upgrade availability is determined by United and may change at any time.

    How to Use Seat Alerts

    Seat Alerts help you monitor seat availability after you’ve booked your flight.

    Instead of checking the seat map every day, PointsYeah watches for changes and notifies you when a seat matching your preferences becomes available.

    Whether you booked with points or paid cash, Seat Alerts can help you move into a better seat when one opens up.

    What Can Seat Alerts Monitor?

    Seat Alerts can notify you when a variety of seat types become available, including:

    • Any available seat
    • Window seats
    • Aisle seats
    • Exit row seats
    • Two or three seats together
    • Specific seats you choose on the seat map

    Because airlines frequently update seat assignments before departure, a preferred seat that isn’t available today may open later.

    How to Create a Seat Alert

    You can create a Seat Alert in two ways.

    From a Live Search

    If you’ve found a flight in Live Search:

    1. Open the flight’s seat map.
    2. Select Create Seat Alert.
    3. Choose the type of seat you’d like to monitor.
    4. Save your alert.

    PointsYeah will begin monitoring the seat map automatically.

    From Your Account

    You can also create a Seat Alert without starting from a search.

    Go to My Seat Alerts, then select Create Seat Alert.

    You’ll be asked to enter:

    • Departure airport
    • Arrival airport
    • Operating airline
    • Flight number
    • Cabin
    • Your preferred seat type

    Once saved, PointsYeah begins monitoring immediately.

    How Many Seat Alerts Can I Create?

    Free accounts can have up to 4 active Seat Alerts.

    PointsYeah Premium increases that limit to 32 active Seat Alerts.

    You can pause or delete alerts at any time to free up available alert slots.

    How You’ll Be Notified

    When a seat matching your preferences becomes available, PointsYeah will notify you so you can return to the airline and select it before someone else does.

    Notifications are available through:

    • Email
    • Your My Seat Alerts dashboard

    Things to Know

    Seat Alerts monitor the seat map itself, not how you paid for your ticket.

    That means they work whether you booked:

    • An award ticket
    • A cash ticket
    • A ticket purchased through a travel portal

    Seat availability ultimately depends on the airline, and seats may become available as travelers change flights, aircraft are swapped, or airlines release previously blocked seats.
