Savvy travelers know that when you use airline miles or credit card points to score "free" flights, they aren't always free. Airlines add taxes, fees, and surcharges to the price of the ticket, which are not covered by points or miles. A "free" flight can still incur unexpected costs.

There is an easier way. Point.me can help you find available flights for the least number of points or miles. Going can alert you to significant ticket fare price drops. And CLEAR+ Members unlock exclusive pricing on memberships to both services. Here's how it works:

‍

What Is point.me?

Frequent flyer programs are examples of non-price competition in the airline industry. Through these airline programs, you accumulate points or miles that can be used for flights. Point.me is the best website to use points for flights which helps you find, compare, and book the best fares for your points and miles across over 150 airlines and more than 30 loyalty programs. 

Instead of manually searching multiple websites, point.me streamlines the search process by comparing search results and helping you select the best one for you. Point.me also works with all major U.S. credit card programs that allow for airline transfers. If you have transferrable points from a credit card, point.me will find the best options to convert them into airline points, maximizing their value. With point.me, you can make your points go further for better flights.

How Does CLEAR+ Work With point.me?

CLEAR+ Members know how to get through airport security faster and easier. Becoming a Member is easy: You can start the enrollment process online at clearme.com and finish at any CLEAR airport location the next time you travel. 

CLEAR+ Members also have access to CLEAR Perks, exclusive Member offers to make your travel journey even more frictionless. Members get $60 off a Premium membership to point.me. In addition to a streamlined search process, other benefits of a point.me Premium membership include unlimited award flight searches, a free points strategy consultation, a $100 credit for concierge travel booking services, and more.

‍

How Does point.me Work?

When you sign up for point.me as a CLEAR+ Member, you will automatically get $60 off a point.me Premium membership. 

Once you're in, search by flight details, including origin, destination, dates, number of passengers, and preferred cabin class (such as economy or coach, business class, or first class). Point.me will show you all the ways that you can save. For instance, some frequent flyer programs offer discounts at specific airports. 

After you've found the best deal, you can select your flight from the search results in point.me. Follow the easy, step-by-step instructions to transfer your points or miles and complete booking your flight directly with the airline. If you have questions or need support, point.me experts are always available to help. Plus, the point.me Premium membership comes with a free points strategy consultation for the best way to leverage your points or miles to score the best deal.

‍

What If I Don't Have Enough Miles to Redeem for a Flight?

Don't worry if you haven't accumulated quite enough miles to redeem for an airline ticket. CLEAR+ Members can potentially transfer credit card points to an airline partner so you can still seize the deal you found on point.me. If you are an American Express (Amex) cardholder, you can get streamlined results just for airline programs that are Amex transfer partners. Even better? CLEAR+ is a free benefit for Amex Platinum cardholders.

‍

Using Going to Get Even Better Deals

Going is another flight deal platform that helps you stay ahead of price drops with real-time flight tracking. The app enables you to set flight price alerts to automatically notify you when flights from your preferred airport drop in price. This will allow you to score a deal based on your preferences so you never miss an opportunity to save.

How Does CLEAR+ Work With Going?

With CLEAR+, you have an airport fast pass, which provides expedited screening at all CLEAR locations to get you to your gate faster. Additionally, CLEAR+ Members get an exclusive discount to a Going membership. You can choose between Going's Premium and Elite membership packages to get notified about flight deals from preferred airports to more than 900 destinations worldwide. Whichever tier you choose, you can book your flight directly with the airline and save money on your trip. 

Sign up for Going and claim your discount as a CLEAR+ Member on either a Premium or Elite membership. Use the code CLEAR40 to get 40% off a Premium membership to Going, or CLEAR50 to get 50% off an Elite membership to Going. 

Once you've signed up, you can select an airport in the U.S., St. Thomas, Guam, or Puerto Rico—or more than one airport that you plan to use for departure. Add destinations for specific deal notifications, and Going will alert you when flights from your selected airports drop in price.

Finding the Best Flights for the Best Price

CLEAR+ Members can unlock point.me and Going through CLEAR Perks to find the best flights for the best price. Point.me will help you to maximize your points or miles and find ways in which you can save, and Going will alert you when flights from your preferred airport drop in price. Together, these two services can help you travel further and save more.
