Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since 1966, when designers at Letraset and James Mosley, the librarian at St Bride Printing Library in London, took a 1914 Cicero translation and scrambled it to make dummy text for Letraset’s Body Type sheets.
It has survived not only many decades, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised thanks to these sheets and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker and Microsoft Word including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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 loyalty programs.
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 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.
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.
Free vs. Premium
Every PointsYeah account includes My Wallet, allowing you to organize your own loyalty programs in one place.
Finding the right hotel isn’t just about location. You also want to compare points rates, cash prices, loyalty programs, and booking options before making a reservation.
PointsYeah brings that information together in one place, making it easy to search award hotels across supported loyalty programs and compare your options in seconds.
Whether you’re planning a specific trip or simply comparing hotels in a destination, here’s how to get started.
Before You Search
For the best experience, sign in to your PointsYeah account before searching.
A free account unlocks personalized search preferences, hotel alerts, and other features that make planning future trips easier.
Preferred bank or hotel loyalty programs (optional)
Then select Yeah! to begin searching.
Review Your Search Results
PointsYeah searches supported hotel loyalty programs and displays available properties in a single list.
Each result includes information to help you compare hotels, including:
Hotel name
Hotel loyalty program
Points required per night
Cash price
Hotel category (when available)
Distance from your search location
Amenities
Guest ratings
Eligible transfer partners
If you’d rather browse visually, switch to the interactive map to compare hotels by location.

As you adjust filters, your results update automatically so you can quickly focus on the hotels that fit your trip.
Search Tip
If your plans are flexible, try adjusting your travel dates or searching a slightly larger area. Hotel award pricing can vary significantly from one night to the next, even at the same property.
Selecting a hotel opens a detailed view with everything you need before booking.
Depending on the property, you’ll see:
Award price
Cash price
Hotel loyalty program
Eligible transfer partners
Hotel category (when available)
Amenities
Ratings and reviews
Selecting Yeah, Let’s Go takes you directly to the hotel’s booking page for your selected dates so you can complete your reservation.
Check the Award Calendar
Some hotels also show an Award Calendar.
The Award Calendar lets you compare award pricing across multiple dates without running another search.
For participating properties, you’ll see nightly points rates alongside cash prices, making it easier to identify lower-priced redemption dates if your schedule is flexible.
Not every hotel offers an Award Calendar, but when available, it’s one of the fastest ways to compare award availability over time.
Free vs. Premium
Every PointsYeah account includes Hotel Search, with Premium adding additional tools for travelers who monitor hotel availability regularly.
Free
Free members can:
Search award hotels across supported loyalty programs.
Compare points and cash pricing.
Create up to 4 active Hotel Alerts.
Premium

You can also personalize your default airports, preferred loyalty programs, and other search settings in How to Personalize Your Searches.
Compare Your Booking Options
Selecting a flight opens a detailed booking panel showing the different ways you may be able to book that itinerary.
Depending on the flight, you may see options to:
Book directly with an airline loyalty program
Transfer points from an eligible bank rewards program
Purchase additional airline miles when available
This view also displays important trip details, including taxes and fees, aircraft type, cancellation policies (when available), and transfer guidance where applicable.

Things to Know
The list of supported airline and hotel loyalty programs continues to grow as new partners are added.
Award availability is provided by each loyalty program and can change at any time.
If a loyalty program isn’t currently supported, you won’t see award availability for that program in 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
Enter a destination, or browse using the interactive map.
Turn on the Fine Hotels + Resorts® filter.
Review participating hotels in either Map View or List View.
From there, you can continue refining your search using the available hotel filters.
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.
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.
An optional United flight number if you only want to monitor a specific flight
Once your alert is saved, PointsYeah begins monitoring automatically.
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.
Once saved, PointsYeah begins monitoring immediately.
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
Your My Seat Alerts dashboard
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.
