What point.me does

point.me, Inc. is a New York-based, venture-backed private company (founded 2021) that operates what it describes as the first real-time award flight meta-search engine. The platform crawls 100+ airlines and 30+ loyalty programs in a single click to surface award seat availability — including hidden partner fares and transfer bonuses that airlines do not advertise — and provides step-by-step transfer and booking instructions plus side-by-side cash-vs-points comparisons. A limited-use Gmail API integration (per Google API Services User Data Policy) parses travel-related emails from airlines, hotels, rental cars, OTAs, and credit card issuers to populate a real-time-synced points wallet and a user travel history; the Terms of Service also reference internal use of machine learning and neural networks. The technology stack is proprietary: the company's published value proposition emphasizes that the algorithm 'translates decades of expert points-knowledge into complex algorithms and computer logic,' and founders' prior businesses (One Mile at a Time, Juicy Miles, PointsPros, God Save The Points) supply the domain expertise.

The company makes money through a freemium subscription funnel (free Basic, Standard $129/yr, Premium $260/yr) supplemented by a $200/passenger full-service Concierge product, a $200 Points Strategy Consultation, a $325/yr Small Business Membership, gift cards, and credit card affiliate commissions routed through CardRatings. Distribution is predominantly direct-to-consumer self-serve on point.me plus inside sales for concierge and small business tiers, with enterprise/white-label integrations into financial services brands (notably a multi-year American Express integration) and content partnerships with The Points Guy and One Mile at a Time. point.me is 100% distributed (continental US hours) with 40+ employees and has raised $27M across a $2M seed (PAR Capital, 2022), a $10M Series A (Thayer Ventures, Sept 2023), and a $15M Series B (Citi Ventures and Nyca Partners, Sept 2024). Recognized outcomes include 2M+ travelers served, 2MM+ award flights surfaced, $50M+ in value unlocked for members, Skift JetBlue Ventures Visionary 2030, PhocusWire Hot 25 (2024), F-Prime/Eight Roads Travel Tech Titans (2023), and a Forbes 5-star ranking as best award booking service.

Core offering

point.me operates a real-time award flight meta-search engine covering 100+ airlines and 30+ loyalty programs, helping consumers locate, compare, and book award flights using credit card points and airline miles. Beyond the core search platform, the company offers full-service concierge booking, points strategy consultations, and a dedicated small business membership program. The platform surfaces partner award availability, transfer bonuses, and redemption values that are typically not visible on airline or credit card travel portals.

Product overview

point.me is a single integrated award-travel platform (the world's first real-time meta-search engine for award flights, in market since 2021) that combines a free Explore tier with paid Standard and Premium subscriptions at the core, all built around a proprietary search algorithm that crawls 150+ airline and loyalty programs to surface live award availability. Layered on top of the core search, point.me offers a full-service Concierge booking product (from $200/passenger) that books award flights on the user's behalf, plus adjacent modules including a Points Strategy Consult, a custom Mileage Run service, a Small Business Membership, a free Credit Card Quiz funnel, Gift Cards, and a dedicated events.point.me World Cup 2026 Travel Hub. A separate B2B offering — referenced via press (American Express, Citi Ventures investment) and an enterprise integration announcement — powers loyalty solutions for large financial-services brands, while consumer access flows entirely through the point.me web product.

Direct peers

• PointsYeah: Award flight search and points tracking across major airline and hotel programs. Direct competitor to point.me, also cited in point.me's own competitive context and in third-party reviews of award search tools.
• Seats.aero: Real-time award availability search across multiple airline programs. Direct competitor to point.me in the consumer award-search category, named alongside point.me in NerdWallet's 2026 ranking of best award travel search tools.
• Roame (formerly Roame.travel): Real-time award availability search and trip planning tool. Direct competitor to point.me in the consumer award search category; included alongside point.me in NerdWallet's 2026 ranking.
• AwardWallet: Long-standing points-and-miles tracking platform covering airline, hotel, and credit card loyalty balances. Direct competitor to point.me's connected points wallet feature, with a more established user base in the same points-tracking vertical.

Broad incumbents

• Booking.com: Global online travel agency with broad flight, hotel, and car coverage. Not a direct award-search competitor, but the dominant cash-channel incumbent against which point.me positions its cash-vs-points comparison and points-redemption value prop.
• One Mile at a Time: Flagship travel-rewards blog founded by Tiffany Funk's prior employer and now part of the same content ecosystem as point.me. Functions as a content/affiliate partner rather than a search competitor, but covers the same consumer audience.
• The Points Guy (TPG): Largest US media brand in the points-and-miles space, owned by Bankrate/Red Ventures. Point.me is a distribution partner (TPG routes concierge bookings through point.me), but TPG also runs a competing editorial/affiliate business in the same category.
• Hopper: Mobile-first travel booking app with price prediction and a "Watch" feature. Broader travel booking competitor that overlaps with point.me's consumer audience but is a cash-fare platform without the points-redemption focus.

Others

• CardRatings: Credit-card comparison and editorial site that powers point.me's affiliate credit-card content and earns commissions alongside point.me. A GTM/affiliate partner rather than a direct competitor, but operates in the adjacent credit-card affiliate vertical.

Emerging players

• Going (formerly Scott's Cheap Flights): Subscription-based deal alerts for cheap cash flights. Adjacent rather than direct: targets the same discretionary-travel subscription buyer as point.me, but focuses on cash-airfare error and low-price alerts rather than award redemptions.
