Pointhound is a flight deal service that helps travelers use credit card points and airline miles to book flights. It scans more than 150 airlines around the clock for cheap point fares that can disappear within hours, and matches them to the points a member holds and the home airport they choose. Each deal arrives with step by step instructions for booking directly with the airline.
The service is aimed at people with points on cards such as Chase, Amex and Capital One who want more value from them than a statement credit, gift card or travel portal offers. Search is free for everyone and covers any cabin and any airline up to a year out. The site also shows transfer options that maximize what a given set of points is worth. Deal emails are personalized to the member's cards and preferences, and Premium adds flight alerts that notify a member when seats open on a specific route.
The Basic plan is free and sends economy deal emails up to 90 days out. Premium costs $99 per year and starts with a 7 day free trial. It adds business and first class deals up to a full year out, along with flight alerts. Pointhound also offers a booking service in which it books flights with a customer's points and miles for a fee of $150 for the first passenger and $100 for each additional passenger.
