Hi Reader, it's Julian, the founder of Points Path, and I’ve got some news I don’t get to share very often.
If you’re not familiar with our Founders Club, it's a private group I started when I first launched Points Path. Members get our newest features before anyone else, a direct line to me, and a real say in what we build next.
I keep the group small on purpose, so the doors only open once in a while, and never for long.
But starting today, for a limited time, the Points Path Founders Club is open again to new members.
And this time, the reopening comes with a brand-new feature that only Founders Club members can use.
A Points Wallet for everyone whose points you manage
If you haven’t used it yet, our Points Wallet tracks your points and miles balances across your airline, bank, and hotel programs, so you can see everything you have in one place.
Once you link a program, your Wallet updates your balance whenever you log in to that program’s website. And when you search in Google Flights, Points Path will highlight the flights you already have enough points to book.
But we've added a major extra for Founders Club members. When you join the Founders Club, you can add up to four more people to your Points Wallet.

|
You can add partners, parents, children, or anyone else whose points you help manage. As long as you have access to their frequent flyer or credit card accounts, you can add them to your Points Wallet along with yourself.
Then, just like your own Points Wallet accounts, once you’ve linked the airline, bank, and hotel programs for someone else, their balances will update automatically whenever you're on that program's website.
|
|
|
With everything linked in your Points Wallet, you can check the combined points totals and estimated value for everyone, or click one person’s name to see only their programs and balances.
You can also view each person's balance, elite status, estimated value, and when their info was last updated.

|
Our Points Wallet never captures or stores anyone’s login credentials. Instead, whenever you visit a linked airline or bank website and log in manually, the Points Wallet will pick up the latest points balance and elite status for that person.
Everything else that comes with Founders Club
A Founders Club membership includes everything in Points Path Pro, too. That starts with live points pricing for 18 airline programs, compared with the basic five in our free extension.
You’ll also get Flight Alerts to track individual flights, plus Flex Alerts, which track the points prices for an entire day’s worth of flights with a single alert. Founders Club members can run up to 50 Flight Alerts and five Flex Alerts at a time.

Then there’s our points calendar, which shows the best points prices three days before and after your departure date on any one-way search.
You’ll also be able to see discounted award pricing for Delta and United cardholders and set your own point valuations for our deal meters.
Extra perks for Founders Club members
Founders Club members also get a few perks that you won't find anywhere else in Points Path.
There’s a private Facebook group where you can talk with me and other members. There’s also a dedicated priority email address for questions or help with anything in Points Path. I personally read and answer every message that lands in that inbox.
And every month, I host a members-only “Ask Me Anything” session on Zoom, where you can ask me about anything, whether it’s points, miles, travel, or what’s coming next in Points Path.
How to join the Founders Club
To join, go to pointspath.com/foundersclub and sign up. Annual membership is $124.99.
If you’re already a paid Points Path Pro or Alerts subscriber, you can upgrade at that same link. And if you previously got a discount on your first year of Pro or Alerts, you won't lose it, because we’ll only charge you the prorated difference.
Also, if you recently extended your paid membership by a year to lock in our previous pricing, you'll only be charged the difference between plans through your lock-in period when you upgrade to Founders Club.
I’m planning to keep enrollment open for about a week. But Founders Club membership is always capped at 5% of our overall users, so if we reach that limit first, we’ll close the doors early.
So if you’ve been thinking about joining Founders Club, now’s the time. And if you have any questions, just email me at mailbox@pointspath.com.
Thanks as always for your support of Points Path, and safe travels! ✈️
