About PointsBoarding

PointsBoarding exists for one reason — to help real travelers get more out of every dollar they spend.

The travel rewards space is crowded with advice written for points obsessives. People who spend hours tracking airline alliances, credit card churning strategies, and program rule changes. That’s not most travelers. Most people just want to know how to earn more points, avoid getting burned by devaluations, and actually use their rewards for trips that matter.

That’s exactly what we cover.

What you’ll find here:

PointsBoarding covers everything a real traveler needs to maximize loyalty rewards — airline miles, hotel points, credit card strategies, and one of the most underserved niches in travel: rental car rewards programs.

We focus especially on families, frequent travelers, and anyone who wants a transferable points strategy that protects them against program devaluations.

Our approach:

Every guide, review, and strategy piece on PointsBoarding is written to be clear, honest, and actionable. No jargon. No complexity for its own sake. Just smarter rewards for real travelers.
