We’re excited to introduce Multi-Region Alerts, a new PointsYeah feature designed to continuously find award travel opportunities in real time across multiple airports, states, regions, countries, and continents, with flexible travel dates.
Whether you’re planning a trip to Europe, exploring destinations across Asia, or simply flexible about where you depart from, Multi-Region Alerts help you find more ways to put your points and miles to work.
Award Alerts Built for Flexible Travel Plans
With Multi-Region Alerts, you can select entire geographic areas and receive notifications when PointsYeah finds award flights between major airports within your selected locations. You can mix and match from:
- Major airports and airport groups: JFK, LAX, SFO, NYC, WAS, and more
- States: California, Florida, New York, or any of the 50 U.S. states
- Countries: Japan, Italy, Costa Rica, or any other country
- U.S. regions: Northeast, Midwest, South, Southeast, West, or any of the 24 available regions
- Continents: Europe, Asia, South America, North America, Africa, and Oceania
For example, selecting California to Europe allows you to monitor award opportunities between major airports in California and destinations across Europe, all within a single alert.
You don’t have to decide on a specific departure airport or European city before getting started.
Customize Alerts Around Your Travel Preferences
Start by selecting your departure and destination areas, travel date range, cabin preferences, and maximum miles per passenger.
Then narrow down your alerts with additional preferences:
- Travel Theme: Select a travel theme that fits your plans.
- Bank Programs: Choose your preferred bank rewards programs.
- Airline Programs: Focus on specific airline loyalty programs.
- Stops: Set your preferred number of connections.
- Number of Seats: Specify how many award seats you need.
- Max Flight Duration: Set a limit on total flight time.
- Max Taxes: Set the maximum taxes and fees you’re willing to pay.
For example, if you’re looking for business-class flights to Europe using no more than 70,000 miles per passenger, you can set those preferences and let PointsYeah notify you when matching award opportunities are found.
More Ways to Make the Most of Multi-Region Alerts
One of the biggest benefits of Multi-Region Alerts is the freedom to plan trips around award availability.
Here are two ways to put that flexibility to work.
Find Opportunities Through Positioning Flights
For example, monitoring departures from California could help you find an award opportunity from a major airport elsewhere in the state. A separate positioning flight could make that redemption worth considering.
Just remember to allow sufficient connection time when arranging separate flights.
Let Award Availability Inspire Your Next Destination
Know you want to visit Asia but haven’t decided exactly where?
Select Asia as your destination and let Multi-Region Alerts help you identify available award opportunities across the continent.
You might find a flight to Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, or another city that inspires your next adventure.

Multi-Region Alerts vs. Points Price Alerts
Both features help you find award availability, but they’re designed for different travel plans.
Multi-Region Alerts are ideal for travelers with flexible travel plans who want to discover award flights across multiple major airports and/or regions, with a larger date range of up to 30 days for Free users and 90 days for Premium members.
Points Price Alerts are better suited for travelers with a specific route and travel dates who want to track award price changes or newly available seats. These alerts support a 4-day date window for Free users and an 8-day date window for Premium members.
Whether you have a specific flight in mind or are flexible about where and when you travel, PointsYeah has an alert option to match your plans.
