  • How to Use Daydream Explorer to Find Flights and Hotels With Points and Miles

    How to Use Daydream Explorer to Find Flights and Hotels With Points and Miles

    Sometimes the hardest part of planning a trip isn’t finding award availability. It’s deciding where to go.

    Daydream Explorer helps you discover destinations, award flights, and hotels when your plans are flexible. Instead of searching one route at a time, you can explore the world using an interactive map, browse award opportunities across regions, and compare both flights and hotels in one place.

    Whether you’re looking for your next vacation or simply seeing where your points can take you, here’s how to get started.

    What Is Daydream Explorer?

    Daydream Explorer helps you discover where your points can take you.

    Unlike Live Search, which starts with a specific route, Daydream Explorer lets you begin with a broader idea. Search from an airport, state, country, region, continent, or even “Anywhere,” then explore destinations that match your travel dates and preferences.

    You can switch between Flights and Hotels at any time, making it easy to discover both award flights and places to stay from a single search.

    POINTSYEAH

    Find Award Flights

    Daydream Explorer makes it easy to discover award flights when you’re flexible about where to travel.

    Start by choosing where you’ll depart from. You can search using:

    • Anywhere
    • Continents
    • Regions
    • Countries
    • States
    • Airports

    Next, choose where you’d like to travel using the same flexible location options.

    POINTSYEAH

    Once you’ve entered your travel dates, Daydream Explorer displays matching destinations on both an interactive map and a list view. Select any destination to compare award pricing across supported airline loyalty programs, view available cabins, and explore different redemption options.

    When you’re ready to book, select Yeah, Let’s Go to continue your search with Live Search and view real-time availability.

    POINTSYEAH

    Find Award Hotels

    Switch to the Hotels tab to explore hotels you can book with points.

    Search by city, airport, region, country, landmark, or broader destination, then compare hotels across supported loyalty programs using either the interactive map or list view.

    POINTSYEAH

    Each hotel result includes information such as:

    • Award pricing
    • Cash rates
    • Hotel brand
    • Guest ratings
    • Amenities
    • Property location

    Selecting Yeah, Let’s Go takes you directly to the hotel’s booking page for the dates you’ve selected.

    POINTSYEAH

    Search American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts®

    You can also enable the American Express Fine Hotels + Resorts® filter while searching hotels to view participating Fine Hotels + Resorts® and The Hotel Collection properties.

    To learn more, see How to Search Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts with PointsYeah.

    Use Filters to Narrow Your Results

    Daydream Explorer includes filters that help you focus on destinations that match your travel preferences.

    For award flights, you can filter by:

    • Cabin
    • Airline program
    • Bank transfer partner
    • Number of stops
    • Maximum points
    • Maximum taxes and fees
    • Flight duration
    • Number of seats
    • Weekend travel

    For hotels, available filters include:

    • Hotel loyalty program
    • Hotel brand
    • Maximum points
    • Maximum cash price
    • Distance
    • Amenities
    • Free Night Certificates
    • Suites only

    As you adjust your filters, results update automatically so you can compare destinations without starting your search over.

    Browse by Travel Theme

    Not every trip starts with a destination.

    Daydream Explorer includes Explorer Themes, allowing you to browse destinations based on the type of trip you’d like to take.

    Available themes include options such as:

    • Beach
    • Family
    • City
    • Golf
    • Historical
    • Honeymoon
    • Ski
    • Boutique
    • Eco-Luxury
    • Unique Hotels

    Themes can be combined with your other filters, making it easier to discover destinations that match your travel style.

    POINTSYEAH

    Create Explorer Alerts

    Not ready to book yet?

    Create an Explorer Alert directly from your Daydream Explorer search to continue monitoring opportunities in the background.

    Explorer Alerts are available for both flights and hotels. Once an alert is created, PointsYeah will notify you when new opportunities matching your search criteria become available, so you don’t have to repeat the same search every day.

    Daydream Explorer vs. Live Search

    Daydream Explorer and Live Search work together, but they’re designed for different stages of trip planning.

    Use Daydream Explorer when you:

    • Haven’t decided where to travel.
    • Want inspiration for your next trip.
    • Want to compare destinations across a region or the world.
    • Prefer exploring possibilities before choosing a specific route.

    Use Live Search when you:

    • Already know where you’re going.
    • Want to search a specific route.
    • Need to confirm real-time award availability before booking.

    Many travelers start with Daydream Explorer to discover destinations, then switch to Live Search when they’re ready to compare real-time award options.

    Free vs. Premium

    Daydream Explorer is available to all PointsYeah members.

    Upgrading to PointsYeah Premium expands the rest of the platform with additional planning tools, including:

    • Longer Live Search windows
    • More active alerts
    • Family and Friends Points Wallet
    • Automatic syncing with select bank and airline programs
    • Additional Premium search features
  • How to Track Rewards and Manage Family Accounts with PointsYeah My Wallet

    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 rewards balances.

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.
  • 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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

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

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

  • How to Use United Airlines Upgrade Alerts

    How to Use United Airlines Upgrade Alerts

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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.

    POINTSYEAH

    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

    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.

    Introducing Daydream Explorer

    Today, we’re introducing a completely redesigned Daydream Explorer, giving travelers a more visual way to search for award flights and hotels.

    At the center of the experience is an interactive map that lets you explore destinations around the world before narrowing your search. Switch between flights and hotels, zoom into regions, and discover new possibilities with just a few clicks.

    Once you’ve found somewhere that catches your eye, Daydream transitions into the detailed search results you’re familiar with, where you can compare award prices, cabins, airlines, transfer partners, and more.

    Sometimes you start looking for Paris and end up booking Portugal instead. That’s exactly what Daydream is designed for.

    Start with Inspiration

    Unlike a traditional search engine, Daydream doesn’t require you to know exactly where you want to go.

    Search from anywhere to anywhere, or begin with a continent, country, region, state, or airport. You can include up to three locations on both the departure and arrival sides of your search.

    Whether you’re planning your next vacation or simply browsing what’s possible with your points, the experience is built to encourage exploration.

    POINTSYEAH

    Daydream also includes the Hotel Collection, making it easy to switch between award flights and hotels without leaving the map.

    Find Exactly What You’re Looking For

    Once you’ve narrowed your options, powerful filters help refine the results.

    On the flight page, you can filter by:

    • Cabin class
    • Airline loyalty program
    • Bank rewards program
    • Number of stops
    • Maximum points
    • Maximum taxes
    • Travel themes

    Whether you’re searching for nonstop flights to Tokyo or a luxury hotel in Rome, Daydream makes it easier to focus on the trips that match your goals.
