Points Price Alerts help you monitor award flights without having to run the same search over and over.
Once you create an alert, PointsYeah continuously checks for changes to both award availability and award pricing. If a new itinerary appears or the number of points required changes to meet your criteria, we’ll let you know.
Whether you’re waiting for award space to open or hoping the price drops before you book, Points Price Alerts can do the monitoring for you.
What Do Points Price Alerts Track?
Points Price Alerts monitor two things:
- Changes in the number of points required for an award ticket.
- Newly available award seats that match the maximum number of points you’re willing to spend.
Instead of checking the same route every day, you can let PointsYeah search continuously in the background.
How to Create a Points Price Alert
You can create a Points Price Alert from either:
- A Live Search results page, or
- The My Points Price Alerts page in your account.
When creating an alert, choose:
- Your travel dates
- The route you’d like to monitor
- The maximum number of points you’re willing to spend
Once saved, PointsYeah begins monitoring automatically.
How Many Alerts Can I Create?
Free accounts can have up to 4 active Points Price Alerts.
PointsYeah Premium increases that limit to 32 active alerts.
An active alert is counted per travel date.
For example:
- One alert covering three travel dates counts as three active alerts.
- Another alert covering two travel dates counts as two active alerts.
Together, those use five active alert slots.
You can pause or delete alerts at any time to free up available slots.
How Will I Know When Something Changes?
Whenever PointsYeah finds a matching itinerary, you’ll receive:
- An email notification
- An update in your My Points Price Alerts dashboard
Alerts continue monitoring until you:
- Pause the alert
- Delete the alert
- Reach your travel date
A Few Things to Know
Points Price Alerts monitor all supported loyalty programs at the same time, so you don’t need to create separate alerts for different airlines.
Because many award tickets can be changed or canceled, some travelers choose to book an itinerary when it becomes available, then continue monitoring for a lower points price before departure.
