We support select airports in the U.S. & Canada where we consistently find exceptional point deals. When you sign up, you'll choose from our list of supported departure cities.

Basic: Choose 1 airport to receive deals from
Premium: Choose up to 3 airports to receive deals from

Don't see your closest home airport? We recommend selecting the closest major airport instead. We promise it's worth the extra connection, even if it means a short hop to get there. Here's why: we've analyzed thousands of routes and only include airports where we can consistently deliver massive point savings. A connecting flight becomes insignificant when you're saving 100k+ points on an international business class flight. A 2-hour connection is a small trade-off for deals that save you thousands of points.

You can explore all available airports in your area when signing up or through your account settings.

Both tiers are just about the deal emails you receive. All our search tools and booking instructions for all cabin classes are 100% free for everyone.

Basic (free) gets you 4-8 deal emails per week. These deals come from one airport you choose and are limited to economy class only. All deals are for flights that depart within 90 days of when we send the email. You can select which points programs you want to see deals for from (ex Chase, Amex, Capital One).

Premium gives you full control. Choose how many emails you want each week and pick up to 3 origin airports. You get access to business & first class deals alongside economy options, if desired. Premium also extends your travel window to 365 days instead of just 60, so you can plan trips up to a year in advance. You can also add your airline mileage programs to see deals using those miles directly. Premium lets you filter by specific regions, airlines, and seat requirements.

Access to business and first class deals is huge since these premium cabin redemptions offer the best value - often saving you thousands of dollars compared to paying cash. The extended travel window also means you can book peak summer flights to Europe in January or holiday travel months ahead.

We send roundtrip deals when we find great ones, but not in every email. Look out for our Perfect Pairs emails that show smart flight combinations.

How many roundtrip deals you see depends on your preferences - if you're flexible with multiple regions and lower seat class requirements, you'll get more options.

Our "roundtrip" deals are actually two separate one-way flights, not a single packaged ticket. This works better for points because two one-ways are often cheaper than traditional roundtrip bookings.

If you only see a one-way deal you like, just search separately for your return flight using our search tool. You can also check if there are good cash deals available for the return leg.

It depends on which Deal Digest plan you have:

Basic: Receive 4-8 deals per week from your selected home airport.

Premium: You control your email frequency:

  • Catch every deal (up to 12 weekly): Get all the great deals we find
  • Regular updates (up to 7 weekly): Our most popular option
  • Occasional deals (up to 3 weekly): Only significant savings
  • Minimal updates (up to 2 weekly): Just exceptional opportunities

We send emails only when we discover great deals worth your attention. Unlike predictable weekly newsletters, our digests are based on when airlines release their best award seats - which happens randomly. Once you hit your weekly limit, you won't see any more deals until the next week starts, even if we find amazing opportunities.

Premium users can fine-tune their experience with filters for specific destinations, cabin classes, mileage programs, regions, airlines, and seat availability requirements. If you select very specific criteria (like only business class deals to Asia with 4 seats available), you'll naturally get fewer emails than someone with broader preferences.

Most Premium users start with higher frequency settings to see what's possible, then adjust based on their travel goals.

Credit card portals typically offer poor redemption rates - around 1 to 1.5 cents per point. When you transfer points to airline partners using our instructions, you can get 6-12x more value. For example, a business class flight to Europe might cost 200,000 points through your credit card portal, but only 50,000 points using our transfer strategies.

Our search engine scours over 150 airlines to surface only the best of the best deals - the ones that make you do a double-take. We're not just finding any available award seats; we're finding the exceptional ones that turn your existing points into completely different travel experiences. Many of our members go from thinking "I'll never have enough points for business class" to suddenly realizing they can book premium cabins to dream destinations with the points they already have.

Yes, every deal comes with complete step-by-step transfer instructions. When you click through from the email, you'll see exactly how to move your points from your credit card (like Chase, Amex, or Capital One) to the specific airline program for that deal. We walk you through the entire process - which buttons to click, how long transfers take, and any important considerations.

Not on Pointhound — we focus on finding the best deals using your credit card points. But we also run Travelhound, which sends cheap cash fares and mistake deals straight to your inbox. Pointhound Premium subscribers get $40 off Travelhound.

Here's the thing - if you get extremely narrow with your preferences, you'll get fewer deals. This happens when you select only one airline while turning off points programs that transfer directly to them. Or when you add so many specific filters that you get nothing at all.

Being narrow is totally fine - you'll just get fewer emails, but every single deal we send you will be exactly what you want. Take advantage of all the personalization to match your exact preferences, but know that each filter cuts out potential great deals. Keep your selections broader to see more options!


Examples:

If you say you only want JetBlue flights but only have Wells Fargo points selected, we won't have much to send you.

If you only select 1 mileage program, no points programs, and specify business & first class deals only to Africa from 1 airport, you'll get far fewer deals than someone with broader preferences.
