PointsHound

Ever being tired of having so many reward and cashback programs, never knowing the passwords and never having enough points to actually redeem anything of value?

Well, let me introduce you to PointsHound. PointsHound is another cashback program but it allows you to be paid in miles in a program that you already use.

I have used it for the past six months and have found it pretty amazing to be honest, letting me earn miles with United Airlines MileagePlus, American Airlines Aadvantage, Delta Airlines Skymiles, BestBuy etc.... Miles have always tracked properly and posted within the allocated two weeks after check-in. This is a nice way to top-off an account with reservations and purchases you would make anyways.

I have found PointsHound particularly useful to book reservations for hotels that do not have any reward program at all or hotels that have reward programs that you do not use (think resorts in LasVegas for instance or resorts outside the US or even a non-chain motel).

Plus, by enrolling through this special PointsHound link, you get an extra bonus of 1,000 miles posted to your preferred reward program after your first hotel reservation. Pretty nice deals I think! As usual, if you are not happy with the service you can always cancel the account after your first bonus has posted. Pretty sweet!
