Are you sitting on credit card points and/or hotel chain points? Today PointsYeah.com, a company founded by my great friend Troy Liu, in addition to the best flight search product, launched a first of its kind hotel meta-search engine to be able to see cash rates AND cost in points and earn rates for hotel programs as well as bank portals and airline portals (including some from my former company!) in only about 20 seconds - versus having dozens of tabs open and having to cross-compare rates and points. To my knowledge this is the FIRST single site where you can do all your points planning - whether it be flights or hotels. Check it out at PointsYeah.com/hotels - note its in Beta mode now so any/all feedback is very helpful and I can pass along to Troy and team! Don't let those points sit in your account depreciating, especially when interest rates are this high. Burn baby burn! A Caribbean trip to Anguilla sounds really nice right now - time to search in only a few seconds! Check it out at pointsyeah.com/hotels #travel #loyalty #travelindustry #hotels
