    Introducing Family and Friends Points Wallet

    In most families, one person ends up tracking everyone’s points and planning the trips. If that’s you, you’ve probably been doing it across a dozen logins or a spreadsheet you keep forgetting to update.

    Today we’re launching Family and Friends Points Wallet, one place to see the whole household’s points at once. It’s included with PointsYeah Premium.

    Everyone’s points, on one screen

    You can add up to four Family Accounts alongside your own Head Account, for five people in one wallet.

    Each account holds that person’s bank, airline, and hotel programs, exactly like yours does. At the top of your wallet you see a combined household total, with each person broken out underneath so you can see who has what. When someone asks what you can pull together for a trip, the answer is on one screen instead of several logins.

    It’s not just balances. Each account can also store that person’s frequent flyer and hotel account numbers. Enter them once and they’re there whenever you need them, and you can copy any number to your clipboard with one tap. No more digging through texts and screenshots for someone’s account number.

    You can connect Chase, American Express, or Citi to sync those balances automatically, including co-branded airline and hotel points on those cards. Other programs you can add yourself, and they’ll sit right alongside the synced ones.

    Getting everyone into your Family and Friends Points Wallet

    Family and Friends Points Wallet is a Premium feature. If you’re on the free plan, you can upgrade to Premium to get it.

    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, like “Mom” or “Sarah,” then add their bank, airline, and hotel programs, along with their program numbers.

    3. Repeat, up to four. Each one only takes a few minutes, and you can drag and drop to put family members in the order that makes sense to you.

    You manage everything from your own wallet. To sync a family member’s accounts automatically, you’ll need their login details for those programs. Anything you’d rather not connect, you can enter balances manually instead.

    Ready when you are

    Family and Friends Points Wallet is part of Premium, alongside automatic syncing with select banks and airlines, a larger live search window, multi-airport search, and 32 price alerts.

    If you’re already a Premium member, it’s live in your wallet now. Head to My Wallet and look for Add a family account.

    If you’re on the free plan, you can upgrade to Premium to start adding the people you plan for.

  • Live Search Now Supports Up to Three Origin Airports

    Live Search Now Supports Up to Three Origin Airports

    PointsYeah has always been about helping you find award flights faster, with more flexibility, speed, and accuracy.

    One of the biggest advantages has been the ability for premium members to search across multiple routes at once using 2 origins and 2 destinations with an 8-day window.

    That hasn’t changed.

    What’s new is how far you can now push that flexibility.

    Premium Members can now search up to 3 origins and 3 destinations within a 4-day Live Search window, as well as 3 origins and 1 destination or 1 origin and 3 destinations with an 8-day search window, giving you a wider view of availability in a single search.

    More flexibility, built into the same Live Search.

    How This Changes Your Search

    Award availability doesn’t show up evenly.

    The best option might not be from your main airport. It might not even be into your original destination.

    You might find:

    • One airport has availability while another does not
    • One city prices lower than another
    • One route has more seats available than the rest

    This update lets you see more of those possibilities at once, so you can quickly spot where the strongest options actually are.

    Instead of narrowing your search early, you can search wider and let the results guide you.

    This is where the difference between free and Premium becomes clear. Premium lets you evaluate multiple realistic routes at once without piecing it together manually.

    Get full search flexibility with PointsYeah Premium

    See It in Action

    Let’s say you are planning a trip to Europe.

    You might be open to departing from:

    • Miami
    • Tampa
    • Orlando

    And arriving in:

    • Paris
    • London
    • Frankfurt

    With 3×3 Live Search, you can evaluate all of those combinations together across a 4-day window.

    Compare more routes without running more searches.

    In practice, availability can be inconsistent. One route may have strong pricing, another may have more seats, and another may have limited options.

    This is especially true on high-demand routes, where availability often shifts between cities rather than appearing evenly across every route.

    Having a broader set of inputs helps surface those differences faster and more clearly.

    If you’re already a member, the easiest way to see the impact is to try it. Add one more origin and one more destination than you normally would and compare how the results change.

    Try It Now

    If you are already a member, you can start using 3×3 Live Search immediately.

    The next time you search, expand your inputs slightly and see how availability changes across routes you might not have checked otherwise.

    Start your next search with multiple origins and destinations

    If you are not a member yet, this feature is part of the expanded Live Search experience available with PointsYeah Premium.

  • Introducing Daydream Explorer

    Introducing Daydream Explorer

    April 2025

    The way you explore with points just changed completely.

    We didn’t just update Daydream Explorer, we reimagined how award travel should feel.

    It now starts with a first-of-its-kind map that lets you search from anywhere to anywhere, across both flights and hotels. Toggle between them, zoom into regions, and start spotting possibilities instantly.

    When you hone in on a destination, you’ll drop into a list view that feels familiar to Daydream of the past, letting you compare cabins, airlines, transfer partners, and more side by side.

    You might start out looking for a trip to Paris… and end up planning something entirely different. That’s the magic of Daydream.

    Whether you’re ready to book or just playing around, it’s the most inspiring way to use your points.

    Explore Like Never Before


    No departure city? No destination? No problem.


    Start by choosing a region, or just hit “Anywhere”, and Daydream Explorer will instantly find flight and hotel options based on your filters. You can have up to three continents, Regions, countries, States or airports in each departure and arrival

    It’s built for open-ended exploring, flexible planning, and those “just browsing” moments that turn into real trips.

    Cabin Class Colors on the Map

    A quick visual guide to help you scan with confidence.

    Every cabin type is color-coded on the map, so whether you’re browsing one class or all of them, it’s easy to compare. It’s a fast, intuitive way to spot the cabins you care about most, especially if you’re casually browsing or comparing options across the world.

    🔵 Blue – Economy

    From Dreaming to Doing

    Once you’ve found a destination you’re excited about in Daydream, you’ll land on a search card, a smart summary that shows you everything available for that specific route.

    Here’s what you’ll see:

    • All currently available award options
    • Points pricing across multiple days

    Explorer Alerts: Your travel sidekick

    Not ready to book yet? That’s what Explorer Alerts are for.

    You’ll find the orange bell icon at the top near the search filters or next to any deal you want to keep an eye on.

    • Where you’re departing from
    • Travel dates
    • Number of seats
    • Travel theme

    Set it and let it run in the background. We’ll let you know when something hits your criteria, so you don’t have to keep checking back. You can track these alerts alongside your Price Point Alerts and Hotel Alerts in your account.
