How to Book a Going with Points Deal

Where do I find points and miles deals in the Going app?

When you open the Going app, you’ll see the globe with all the current cash deals available to you. You can tap on a location and see what’s available, but this is not where you’ll find the points deals. 

Our points and miles deals are specially curated, so they’re located in a separate section.  Swipe up, and tap the filter button in the right hand corner. Then tap Points.

Points and miles deals

When you tap, you’ll see ALL the points and miles deals our flight experts have active. That’s right—this means that you’ll get points deals from everywhere across the US. 

In other words, your points deals are not limited by the airports you follow. 

But if you’re in Indianapolis (IND), this doesn’t mean a deal out of San Francisco (SFO) or Philadelphia (PHL) doesn’t apply to you. Actually, it’s the opposite: your membership unlocks tons of flight options with points and miles. 

How do I book a points and miles deal in the Going app?

Once you’re in the points section of the app, you can book a points and miles deal in three easy steps. 

1. Tap on the location you want to go to. 

Doing this shows you the departure airports available, the months the deal is available, the cabin you’ll book, and the airline you’ll fly. 

We show you the roundtrip cost in points, plus taxes and fees. Tap on the airline transfer partner box to continue.

The box below shows you what airline you’ll need to transfer your credit card points to book this deal. To help demystify things, we list which credit card points transfer to that airline.

2. Tap on the departing airport you want. 

Depending on the deal, there may be several airports. Tap on the one you want. If you’re ready, you can tap on the purple “Book this deal” button now.

If you want to see more details, the next screen shows you the cost each way, plus the available departing and return dates. 

3. Tap the purple “Book this deal” button. 

This takes you directly to the site of the airline you’ll book with, so in the example of this deal, it goes to Air Canada.

Once at the airline’s site, check the dates you want to fly. Once you have confirmed there’s space, go to your credit card’s app and transfer the necessary amount of points.
