Dec. 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Santa Monica, CA – December 12, 2011 – PointHub (http://www.pointhub.com/), a free loyalty program shopping and management destination, launched a mobile site today featuring its ground-breaking Cash vs. Points Recommendation Engine, giving travelers -- for the first time -- the power to search, book and manage multiple travel award programs from their smartphones and other mobile devices while on the go.  Like the website, PointHub’s robust mobile site simplifies rewards management through its exclusive PointTracker that monitors rewards program balances, elite levels, tier-status progress, pending itineraries, and expiration dates and sends users alerts announcing miles, points, flight credits, or airline vouchers about to expire.  The safe and easy-to-use PointHub mobile site empowers business and leisure travelers to make better use of their incentive programs, reducing the $16 billion lost annually in unused frequent flyer miles and rewards points.

“Our rapidly expanding user-base wanted a mobile solution that gives them the power to book and manage their award travel anywhere, any time and we delivered it,” said Justin Byers, PointHub CEO.  “Business and leisure travelers are using PointHub because they easily find the best value for their award travel using our Recommendation Engine and safely manage their many reward programs with our PointTracker and alerts.”

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 protected personal information again.
