How to Search for Hotels with PointsYeah

Finding the right hotel isn’t just about location. You also want to compare points rates, cash prices, loyalty programs, and booking options before making a reservation.

PointsYeah brings that information together in one place, making it easy to search award hotels across supported loyalty programs and compare your options in seconds.

Whether you’re planning a specific trip or simply comparing hotels in a destination, here’s how to get started.

Before You Search

For the best experience, sign in to your PointsYeah account before searching.

A free account unlocks personalized search preferences, hotel alerts, and other features that make planning future trips easier.

If you’re new to the platform, check out Getting Started with PointsYeah before running your first hotel search.

Start a Hotel Search

From the Hotel Search page, enter your:

• Destination
• Check-in and check-out dates
• Number of rooms and guests
• Preferred bank or hotel loyalty programs (optional)

Then select Yeah! to begin searching.

Review Your Search Results

PointsYeah searches supported hotel loyalty programs and displays available properties in a single list.

Each result includes information to help you compare hotels, including:

• Hotel name
• Hotel loyalty program
• Points required per night
• Cash price
• Hotel category (when available)
• Distance from your search location
• Amenities
• Guest ratings
• Eligible transfer partners

If you’d rather browse visually, switch to the interactive map to compare hotels by location.

Refine Your Search

The filter bar lets you narrow your results without starting over.

Available filters include:

• Hotel loyalty programs
• Bank programs
• Maximum points
• Maximum cash price
• Maximum distance
• Hotel brand
• Free Night Certificates
• Suites only
• Popular filters
• Hide unavailable hotels

As you adjust filters, your results update automatically so you can quickly focus on the hotels that fit your trip.

Search tip

If your plans are flexible, try adjusting your travel dates or searching a slightly larger area. Hotel award pricing can vary significantly from one night to the next, even at the same property.

You can also personalize your preferred loyalty programs and other search settings to simplify the search process.

Compare Hotel Details

Selecting a hotel opens a detailed view with everything you need before booking.

Depending on the property, you’ll see:

• Award price
• Cash price
• Hotel loyalty program
• Eligible transfer partners
• Hotel category (when available)
• Amenities
• Ratings and reviews

Selecting Yeah, Let’s Go takes you directly to the hotel’s booking page for your selected dates so you can complete your reservation.

Check the Award Calendar

Some hotels also show an Award Calendar.

The Award Calendar lets you compare award pricing across multiple dates without running another search.

For participating properties, you’ll see nightly points rates alongside cash prices, making it easier to identify lower-priced redemption dates if your schedule is flexible.

Not every hotel offers an Award Calendar, but when available, it’s one of the fastest ways to compare award availability over time.
