Searching for award flights can be one of the most time-consuming parts of booking a trip with points.

Now, Point.me has introduced several new features aimed at speeding up and simplifying that process, including faster searches, multi-city searches, and new tools that help travelers find better redemption opportunities.

If you regularly use Point.me to search for award flights, here’s what’s new and why it matters.

What’s New in Point.me’s Latest Update?

If you’re unfamiliar with Point.me, it’s an award search tool that helps travelers find flights they can book with points and miles. It searches live award availability across more than 150 airlines and dozens of loyalty and transferable rewards programs, then walks you through the booking process once you find an itinerary you like.

Here’s a look at the biggest new features now rolling out to the platform.

Find Award Flights Faster

One of the biggest improvements is speed. Point.me says most award searches now load in under 20 seconds instead of taking close to a minute, making it much quicker to compare routes, airlines, or travel dates.

Another useful upgrade is multi-city search. Instead of searching 1 destination at a time, you can now search up to 3 origins and 3 destinations simultaneously for a specific travel date.

For example, instead of searching Rome, Milan, and Venice separately, you can search all 3 cities at once and quickly compare which one offers the best redemption. It’s a simple change, but it can save a lot of time if you’re planning a trip and are open to multiple airports.

Explore More Destinations

If you’re flexible about where you want to travel, this feature may be the most useful addition. Premium members can now use Point.me’s revamped Explore tool to search for award opportunities based on the points they already have instead of starting with a specific destination.

You can narrow results by region, travel month, cabin, loyalty program, or even the maximum number of points you want to spend. There’s also a new calendar view that highlights the lowest-priced award dates, making it easier to spot the best deals without clicking through every day individually. That’s especially useful if your travel dates are flexible, since award prices can vary significantly from one day to the next.

Get More Value From Your Points

Point.me is also making it easier to maximize your transferable credit card points. The platform now displays active transfer bonuses directly in its search results, showing opportunities to book the same award for fewer points by transferring rewards from programs like American Express Membership Rewards, Chase Ultimate Rewards, Capital One miles, or Citi ThankYou Rewards. It also tells you when those transfer bonuses expire, so you know how long you have to take advantage of them. That’s a useful feature for anyone who books award travel regularly and doesn’t want to keep track of constantly changing transfer bonus offers.

Another new addition is a built-in value indicator. Point.me now labels award flights as a “Good” or “Great” redemption after comparing the points price to the equivalent cash fare. While it shouldn’t replace your own judgment, it’s a helpful way to quickly identify award bookings that offer solid value for your points.

Point.me also now displays the cash fare, the equivalent price through your credit card’s travel portal, and the transfer partner award price side by side in the search results. That makes it much easier to compare your options at a glance and quickly see whether transferring points offers better value than simply booking through your card’s travel portal or paying cash.

Hot Tip:

Award search tools can help you find available flights, but choosing the right transfer partner is just as important. Before moving your points, use our Transfer Partner Tool to compare airline and hotel partners and identify the best program for your redemption.

Final Thoughts

Award search tools are constantly evolving, and Point.me’s latest update brings several changes that frequent points travelers will likely appreciate. Faster searches, the ability to search multiple destinations at once, and built-in transfer bonus information all make it a little easier to find and compare award flights.

Whether you’re already using Point.me or are simply keeping tabs on the latest award search tools, these are the key updates you’ll want to know before your next points redemption.
