At PointsYeah, we believe that there is no “one way” to book travel. We built our products with that in mind, building our Daydream Explorer product for those who want to search the globe and be inspired for their next trip. Our Explorer Alert feature is often overlooked and misunderstood, so we want to spend time raising awareness to how you can use these for your next booking.

What are Explorer Alerts?

Explorer Alerts are tied to our Daydream Explorer product. These alerts allow you to find inspiration as broad or narrow as you like, sending these ideas directly to your inbox. We all love new flight ideas and don’t want you to miss any of them.

What is the difference between Explorer Alerts and Points Price Alerts?

Explorer Alerts track flights from the most searched routes globally. Points Price Alerts are more specific to your exact needs, tracking price changes and new seats on almost any route around the globe.

Is there a limit on Explorer Alerts?

No, Explorer Alerts are free and unlimited. You can set up as many as you want in any way you want.

Where do I find Explorer Alerts?

Explorer Alerts can be found in a few places;

• In the Alerts tab on the left sidebar. From there, toggle to Explorer Alerts under the flights tab.
• In the Daydream Explorer product. Once you navigate to the list view, you will see the alerts icon in the filter section.

How do I set up the alerts?

Similar to Points Price Alerts, you can set up to three departures and arrivals, including continents, regions, countries, or airports for each alert.

How do I get notified?

After creating an alert, you will receive notifications via email and on the Alerts page whenever we find a deal that matches your criteria.

How Do Points Price Alerts Work?

Points Price Alerts – Set Your Own Price
The only alert continuously tracking both the price changes of points and the availability of newly released seats with multiple dates.

1. What are the Points Price Alerts – Set Your Own Price?

Unlike other alerts where you either have to enter lots of information to track one flight or only receive an alert once, our Points Price Alerts, we track both points price changes, similar to Kayak or Google’s price alerts, and newly available seats based on the maximum points you wish to spend.

2. How to set up the alerts?

You can set up your alerts via the search result page or under my account page with only a few clicks, follow the steps to customize filters and the maximum points you wish to spend.

3. Is this really free, unlimited, and continuous tracking?

Yes, our points prices alerts offer unlimited and continuous tracking with maximum 4 active alerts. We will keep searching for available options unless the alert is paused or deleted, or the pre-set travel date has passed. You can pause or delete any alert at any time. When an alert is paused or deleted, or the travel date has passed, the limit will be reset. Keep in mind that many award tickets are fully refundable, enabling you to book now and exchange for a better option if the points price changes.

4. How are 4 active alerts counted?

Each day will be counted as one active alert. If you set up alerts for three days in a row, it will be counted as three alerts. However, each alert can be set for all the programs you want to track.

5. How can I get more active alerts?

Upgrade to our membership to have access to 32 active alerts.

6. How do I get notified?

You will receive notifications via email and on the My Points Price Alerts page whenever we detect a change to your alert.
