    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Introducing Daydream Explorer

    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.

    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.

    Explore Today, Book When You’re Ready

    When you find an itinerary you like, Daydream shows available award options, points pricing, airline programs, cabins, and availability across multiple dates.

    Not ready to book? Explorer Alerts can monitor the trips you’re interested in and notify you when matching opportunities appear. Alerts are free and available directly within Daydream Explorer.

    Available Now

    The redesigned Daydream Explorer is available now on desktop and mobile.

    If you’ve used Daydream before, you can switch back to the previous Detail View at any time or make it your default in your Search Preferences.

    Whether you’re planning your next redemption or simply looking for inspiration, the new Daydream Explorer is ready to help you discover where your points can take you.
