PointsCrowd is a platform developed by travel and points enthusiasts that allows travelers to search for the best points redemption options across multiple loyalty programs on a single site.

We provide users an option to create a portfolio of their current points and guide them through the various options to earning more points or redeeming their existing points.

Loyalty points, along with rewards, such as free hotel stays and flights, are a way companies reward customers for their loyalty to their brand.

All features offered on PointsCrowd are free of charge.

There are multiple ways to accumulate loyalty points, but the most common are:
  • Remain an active user of a brand with a loyalty program and accrue points organically with your regular patronage of the brand
  • Sign up for a co-branded credit card and receive a lump sum of points as a sign up bonus

No, we do not handle booking through PointsCrowd, however we provide you the steps for booking directly on the corresponding loyalty programs site

All travel deals on PointsCrowd are bookable with points, however there is an option to view costs with cash added when you do not have enough points available.

No, PointsCrowd is free and designed to help other travel and points enthusiasts get the most from their points and rewards. We simply help you discover the best deals and guide you to booking them on the loyalty programs sites.
