Maximise Your Miles: How Pointrs is Revolutionising Frequent Flyer Points

By Melissa Hoyer

A new study reveals widespread dissatisfaction among Australians with loyalty rewards programs. Almost a third feel they receive little value, while two in ten are confused about how the system works. Yet, despite their frustrations, nine in ten Australians have accumulated nearly 200,000 points, indicating a clear appetite for a simpler, smarter way to redeem their rewards.

Pointrs is an innovative Australian loyalty platform

Enter Pointrs, an innovative Australian travel loyalty platform founded by seasoned traveller Michael Dixon. With over 25 years’ experience and more than 100 million accumulated loyalty points, Dixon has perfected the art of maximising frequent flyer miles. His exploits include trips to over 50 countries, from the Galápagos Islands to Antarctica, and even flying 18 friends to Hong Kong in business class for a memorable celebration.

Dixon identifies a common yet costly mistake: Australians often choose the wrong credit card, limiting their ability to earn and flexibly redeem points. He emphasises the advantage of American Express cards due to their higher points yield and greater transfer flexibility across multiple airline programs.

Earn 3.5 times more points with Pointrs

Pointrs members benefit from actionable strategies to earn up to 3.5 times more points, spend up to 75% fewer points and cash, and access premium travel experiences. Through clear, step-by-step guidance, users learn how to select the best credit cards, transfer points between programs, and leverage promotions to maximise their rewards.

Michael notes that while programs like Qantas Frequent Flyer are popular, they don’t always offer the best value, especially for premium travel options like business class. He suggests that savvy travellers look beyond familiar brands to identify more rewarding loyalty programs.

Real time insights

Pointrs provides members with real-time insights and unbeatable opportunities, recently highlighting a deal where travellers could fly business class return from Australia to Bali for just 77,500 points—a significant saving from the typical 141,000 points.

At just $9.99 per month, Pointrs subscribers gain access to a comprehensive dashboard updated daily, removing the hassle of time-consuming research. For those without extensive credit card spending, Pointrs also offers “Pointrs Travel,” assisting users in securing exceptional travel deals using cash.

With nearly half of Australians (42%) struggling to find available reward flights and 37% frustrated by expiring points, Pointrs couldn’t come at a better time. Dixon created the platform to fix a broken system, giving loyal travellers the rewards they deserve.
