Why You Can Trust Point Hacks

Point Hacks has helped millions of Australians learn how to earn, save, and redeem frequent flyer points smarter. Our guides, reviews, calculators, and strategies are written by expert contributors and reviewed by finance and loyalty program specialists to ensure accuracy, transparency, and practical advice.
We follow a rigorous editorial process so every piece of content meets the highest standard of trust, clarity, and expertise.

How We Create and Maintain Our Content

1. Expert Authors & Contributors

Our articles are written by specialists across:

  • Frequent flyer programs (Qantas, Velocity, KrisFlyer, Asia Miles)
  • Personal finance & credit card rewards
  • Airline route planning & reward-seat availability
  • Travel products and loyalty strategy
  • Data analysis and points valuations

Every writer is selected for deep experience in the points ecosystem — not generic finance writers.

2. Independent Financial & Loyalty Review

Before publication, suitable articles undergo review by the relevant expert:

  • Financial Review:

    Ensures accuracy of card terms, fees, points earn rates, bonus criteria, and compliance with current regulations.
  • Loyalty Program Review:
    Validates redemption advice, points valuations, availability trends, status benefits, and the latest airline program changes.
  • Travel Rewards Review:
    Confirms route accuracy, partner airline rules, sweet spots, and practical redemption tips.

Reviewers check for:

  • ✔ Accuracy
  • ✔ Clarity
  • ✔ Up-to-date program rules
  • ✔ Fair comparison across providers
  • ✔ Transparency and consumer-first recommendations

3. Affiliate Independence & Transparency

Point Hacks earns revenue from some partners when readers apply for products or services via our site.
 However:

  • Our reviews are not influenced by partners
  • We never recommend a card solely because it pays an affiliate commission
  • All affiliate-eligible content must go through the same editorial checks

We publish only products and strategies we genuinely believe are beneficial for readers.

4. Regular Updates & Accuracy Checks

The points and travel landscape changes constantly. We proactively update content when:

  • Banks release new credit card offers
  • Airline programs change award charts or rules
  • Transfer partners update conversion rates
  • Taxes, surcharges, or fees increase
  • Reward-seat availability shifts
  • A partner promotion impacts value

Each article includes a “Last Updated” timestamp so readers know the information is current.

5. Data-Driven Insights

Point Hacks leverages:

  • Proprietary reward-seat availability data
  • Community reports
  • Airline and bank program updates
  • Real user journeys and redemption examples
  • Points valuation models

This allows us to provide insights beyond generic advice.

6. Accuracy, Corrections & Feedback

We welcome reader feedback. If inaccuracies are identified, we correct them promptly and transparently.

A corrections note is added for material updates that change recommendations, valuations, or credit card details.

7. Ethical Standards & Compliance

Our team adheres to guidelines across:

  • Financial services advertising standards
  • Clear and balanced risk disclosure
  • Non-misleading product comparisons
  • Honest point valuations
  • Fair representation of redemption difficulty

We prioritise reader value over clicks or impressions.
