Points and miles deals
You’ll see alllll the Points deals our Flight Experts have curated. This means that your points deals are not limited to only the airports you follow.
Let’s say there’s a Points deal from Seattle to Tokyo, but you live in the Northeast or the Midwest.
You can book this! Just find a positioning flight from your home airport to SEA, then catch your Points deal flight.
That means your Going 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. Choose 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. Click the airline loyalty program for booking instructions.
You’ll find step-by-step booking instructions, plus the taxes and fees you’ll pay on the award ticket.
The next screen shows you a calendar with the available departing and return dates.
3. Ready? Click the purple “Book this deal” button.
This takes you directly to the airline's website you’ll book through.
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 app and transfer the required number of points.
How members use points deals
Many members adapt a Points deal to fit their own travel plans. Instead of booking roundtrip, they might book two one-ways or use a Points deal to get them closer to their final destination.
Here are some real ways Going members have booked Points deals. Use these as inspiration for your next trip!
Adapt deals to fit your travel plans
Points deals help members travel more and give extra flexibility.
Points deal:
- Madrid, Spain (business)
- 74,000 miles on Iberia
Going member Scot told us, “This gets me to Madrid, where I will have 10 days to arrive in Istanbul to get my flight to Bishkek to attend the World Nomad Games.”
Book one-way
Another member used one of our roundtrip points deals to book two seats one-way.
Points deal:
- Germany (business class)
- Two one-way seats for 110,000 miles on Alaska
They didn’t say where they’re going after Berlin, but once you’re in Europe, it’s a quick flight to visit other European cities.
Be flexible on dates
Another member used a Points deal to plan their own travel dates.
Points deal:
- Seattle (economy class)
- Two seats for 22,600 miles on Delta
Going member Cari said, “I couldn’t go home for the Christmas/New Years, so I've booked a January trip instead!”
Note: The original deal ranged between 5,000 and 16,000 miles per person.
Or, be flexible on the destination
If your dates are fixed, another way to use Points deals is to let the deal decide your location.
Points deal:
- Athens, Greece (economy)
- 35,000 miles on Emirates
Going member T said this deal “matched my desired travel dates.” They were flexible about the destination and just looking forward to “sharing time with family.”
Helps you save cash
Of course, Points deals help you save cash for other parts of your travels, too.
Points deal:
- Australia (economy)
- 51,000 miles on Delta
Going member Dana said, “I'm psyched to explore new countries, plus the ticket was cheap.”
Or all of the above
Points deal:
- Seoul, South Korea (economy)
- 53,000 points on Virgin Atlantic
Going member Kelly said, “I was worried airfare would end up unaffordable for the trip we have planned, and this Points deal covered one of the legs of travel, making the whole travel cost fit miraculously in our budget without taking crazy flights with 5 layovers.”
Kelly booked two one-way tickets for two persons because of her travel itinerary, but the original Points deal was up to 75,000 points roundtrip for one person.
