1. Award Flight Alerts: Coverage and Maximum Allowed
When it comes to tracking award availability, Roame offers significantly more flexibility and volume. Each Super Alert can monitor availability across a full region-to-region search for up to 60 days — and you can set up to 5 alerts at once. That gives you the power to track up to 120,000 individual days of award seat availability across your preferred routes.
For example, if you’re tracking flights from the U.S. to Europe, Roame lets you cover 20 U.S. airports × 20 European airports × 60 days = 24,000 tracked days with just one alert.
Plus, Roame alerts stay active until you delete them, so you never miss out if the first match isn’t perfect.

In contrast, PointsYeah limits users to 32 days of alerts total, and only for specific city pairs. Once you've added one route over a few days (e.g., JFK to CDG from April 1–2), you've already maxed out.
PointsYeah Limited Alerts
✅ Winner: Roame — More days, more routes, and more flexibility.
2. Loyalty Programs Supported
Roame supports 24+ major airline loyalty programs, including high-value options like Qatar Airways Privilege Club, Lufthansa Miles & More, Aer Lingus AerClub, and GOL Smiles — all of which are not available on PointsYeah.
Roame also includes a Loyalty Program Finder that helps you identify availability across programs with one click — ideal for travelers chasing premium cabins or "unicorn" redemptions like Singapore Suites or JAL A350 First Class.
PointsYeah supports 21 programs, but lacks several key international airlines. While it does support Finnair (not currently available on Roame), it doesn’t offer program-wide search filters or advanced availability views.
✅ Winner: Roame — More airline options and better search flexibility by program.
3. User Experience: Fewer Ads, Cleaner Design
Roame’s interface is fast and intuitive, with minimal, relevant ads — often personalized recommendations like credit card offers tailored. The ads are integrated cleanly and do not interrupt the user flow.

PointsYeah, on the other hand, includes heavy ad placement, often from third-party ad networks. Expect multiple pop-ups, low-resolution side banners, and inline ad placements on search results pages. You’ll need to upgrade to PointsYeah Pro to remove them.
Example of an ad on PointsYeah’s homepage

Search results page example - 2 sidebar ads and 1 inline ad
Search results page example - Credit card ad
✅ Winner: Roame — Better UX and fewer ad interruptions.
4. Mobile App Support
Roame provides users with an iOS app that gives users mobile access to search tools and push notifications for Super Alerts — providing you with a much better chance of sniping those saver fare flight deals.
Roame mobile app notifications
PointsYeah currently does not offer a mobile app. While the desktop version is mobile-friendly, it lacks push alerts and app-level convenience.
✅ Winner: Roame — Full-featured iOS app for real-time access and alerts.
5. Booking Guides and Educational Content
New to points and miles? Roame provides step-by-step redemption guides, covering how to transfer points, book award flights, and navigate the quirks of different airline programs.
PointsYeah does not offer guides or tutorials. If you are an advanced user and know all the credit card transfer airlines and have accounts already created with all 30+ airlines, then PointsYeah will be more straightforward.
✅ Winner: Roame — More support for all levels of experience
6. Travel Community and Support
Roame powers one of the largest award travel communities on Facebook: Award travel by Roame, with over 160,000 active members. The group is a hub for deal sharing, tips, alerts, and peer-to-peer support.
PointsYeah does not have a robust community, meaning less access to shared knowledge or real-time deals from fellow travelers.
✅ Winner: Roame — A built-in community to help you get more from your miles.
- Region-to-region search with broad alert coverage
- Access to 24+ loyalty programs, including Qatar Airways and Lufthansa
- In-depth guides to book complex awards
- A large, helpful award travel community
- A dedicated iOS app with real-time alerts
- Don’t mind the lack of airline loyalty program support for Qatar Airways, Lufthansa, Aer Lingus, and GOL
- Are okay with ads or plan to upgrade to remove them
- Only need to track specific routes over short date ranges
- Don’t need alerts beyond 32 days total
- Already understand how to transfer points and book manually
