Why most beginners give up

The points world wasn't built for newcomers. We're changing that.

😵 The Typical Experience

  • Drowning in news articles about deals you can't use yet
  • Guides that assume you already know what "transfer partners" means
  • Card recommendations driven by affiliate commissions, not your needs
  • No clear starting point—just endless "top 10" lists
  • Feeling like you need a PhD to book a free flight

The Points Clarity Way

  • Structured curriculum: learn concepts in the right order
  • Plain English explanations with zero assumed knowledge
  • Recommendations based on your goals, not our commissions
  • One clear path from Day 1 to your first award booking
  • Interactive tools that meet you where you are
