The award search space is filled with new tools. It seems like every single day a new one pops up ( Point.me, Roame, Seats.Aero, AwardLogic, SeatSpy, ExpertFlyer, PointsPath ), but PointsYeah offers an incredibly fast, free search that I’ve grown to love and use. In fact, I’m taking the plunge on this 40% off sale to pick up a Premium Membership because of the expanded search and to support the company on innovating a fantastic search feature. I don’t currently have an affiliate relationship so there isn’t a link that would also support me, this is just a great tool.

Free vs Premium Versions
The biggest thing that the Premium Version adds that I value is the 7 day window of award space – I often travel in a flexible window and this feature gives me tons of options.
7 Day window
Multi City
You can also do a multi-city search which is pretty awesome and time saving
Overall
There is a lot of competition in this space currently, and in my opinion, PointsYeah is inching ahead of the competition and only started in the summer of 2023. Pretty awesome and worth a look!

We keep an up to date spreadsheet that lists the best ever offers: You can find that spreadsheet here.
Historically 80k is a very, very good offer and hit in both 2022 and 2023. In 2021, we saw the offer hit an all time high of 100k. Who knows if that will ever come back.
Main Cast:
Cards that earn flexible points and should be used on the bulk of your purchases.
Supporting Cast:
Cards that earn fixed points in the currency of the airline/hotel and can not be transferred at attractive rates. These cards yield benefits that make it worth keeping, but not necessarily worth putting a lot of your everyday spend on.
The Chase Sapphire Preferred® is exceptional starter card and offers transferrable Ultimate Rewards, and pairs well with other Chase cards.
If you carry this card alongside Chase’s cashback cards like the Chase Freedom Flex® and Chase Freedom Unlimited® or the business versions: Ink Business Cash® , Ink Business Unlimited® you can combine the points into Preferred account and transfer into hotel and airline partners
Annual fee is quite low at $95 a year + you get a 10% anniversary bonus on points + $50 hotel credit in Chase travel.
