Proprietary “Cash vs. Points Recommendation Engine” Also Saves Business and Leisure Travelers
Countless Hours Booking Airfare/Hotels Using Frequent Flyer Miles and Rewards Points

Santa Monica, CA – September 12, 2011 – PointHub (http://www.pointhub.com/), a loyalty program shopping and management destination, announced today that in the first 30-days since its launch on August 9, users have saved more than $192,000 using its breakthrough Cash vs. Points Recommendation Engine that delivers qualified, real-time, side-by-side comparisons between purchase price and rewards points for airlines and hotels.
“PointHub empowers travelers to take back control of their points,” said Justin Byers, PointHub CEO. “Since we launched, our customers have not only saved a significant amount of money on flights and hotels using their frequent flyer miles and reward points, but they have also experienced dramatic time savings in the booking process, which has lead to a high number of referrals to our site; people want their family, friends, and co-workers to enjoy the same benefits.”

PointHub goes beyond answering the question, “Can I use my rewards points when making travel plans?” with its patent-pending, proprietary Cash vs. Points Recommendation Engine. After eliminating blackout periods and cross-referencing factors such as redemption fees, elite status opportunities, point expiration risk, and travel preferences, PointHub provides side-by-side “best value” travel recommendations that can actually be booked using cash or rewards points. Registered users simply click on the desired option and they are sent directly to the travel provider where they make their reservations without having to enter their personal information again.
“With consumers losing $16 billion annually in unused frequent flyer miles and rewards points, there’s clearly a need for a safe and simple-to-navigate site that makes booking reward travel easy, and PointHub is it,” add Byers.
