Questions
What Is Pointsflare?
Pointsflare finds credit card points and miles deals, such as Amex and Chase offers, shopping portal bonuses, airline and hotel promotions and card benefit credits. It ranks them by points per dollar, matches them to the cards you tell us you hold, and alerts you before they sell out. It is in a free, invite only beta in the United States.
How Are Deals Found And Scored?
We check public deal sources every 5 minutes. Each deal is scored by points per dollar: the points you get, plus what your card earns on the same spend, divided by what you have to spend. Cash back counts as 100 points per dollar, and a card credit is shown in dollars. Deals are graded Good (10 or more points per dollar), Great (20 or more) or Excellent (50 or more, or no spend needed). Card sign up bonuses and bank bonuses are left out. The full method is on Disclosures.
Why Is A Deal Not In My Card Account?
Many card offers are targeted: the bank shows them to some cardholders and not others. Pointsflare marks these as targeted, so check your card's app before planning around one. An offer can also fill up or end early, or be added to another card you hold; most Amex Offers live on one card only.
How Do Alerts And Quiet Hours Work?
You choose the categories you care about. Excellent deals can reach you right away by email, or by push notification in the iPhone app, and a daily digest rounds up the rest at the time you pick. During your quiet hours, 10 PM to 8 AM unless you change them, there are no push notifications, and emails wait for your digest unless the deal is Excellent. Every email has a one click unsubscribe link.
How Do I Change My Cards Or My Bar?
In the app, open Profile, then Account And Settings. My Cards sets the cards you hold, and Your Bar sets the lowest points per dollar you want to hear about. Point values, alert categories, your digest time and quiet hours are on the same page.
How Do I Delete My Account?
In the app, open Profile, then Account, and choose Delete Account. You type DELETE to confirm, and your account, settings and saved deals are removed right away. You can also email hello@pointsflare.com from the address you sign in with and we will delete it for you.
