My first steps in the World of Points & Miles when I took a Jet Airways Flight from Delhi to Guwahati. A Jet Airways Staff was asking people whether they checked-in online so he can find out whether they are eligible for an upgrade from Economy Class to Business Class. 

I passed him by saying “No”, I haven’t. 

But it stuck with me. So, I decided to register for Jet Airways Frequent Flyer Program on 14th June 2016. 

As there used to a be a lot of Co-Branded Jet Airways Cards including Debit Card I applied for a Debit Card as those were my Initial days of Job. Once again I was flying Jet Airways and this time I Made sure, I checked-in online. Here it was again where the person asked me and I Said “Yes”. 

It was a great moment. I was upgraded to Business Class. 

You never know how it is until you experience yourself. I enjoyed every bit of it. But soon thereafter, I travelled with Vistara. And, It was all pleasant experience. Then I receched Club Vistara “Silver Status” but then came the pandemic. During this time, a Status Match offer from Club ITC Came for Silver to Sliver match. Which I used and remained silver till the end of 31st Dec 2022. 

During the years of pandemic, I explored the lifestyle of staying at hotels of different brands. As a result, I got more familiar with loyalty programs. This allows me to understand “How all these work”. These things saved me money and increased my points earnings. And, I also reached elite status without staying the number of elite nights with use of many offers. 

During these years, I also get my hands on Credit Card game which resulted in me having an “HDFC Infinia” and “Axis Magnus” credit card and Offer for upgrade to “American Express Platinum Credit Card”.

As time passed by I started to accumulate a lot of points both at the Hotels Loyalty Program and on my Credit Cards! I looked up online to maximize my Points and Miles. However, there was no good Indian website which was good enough. Always felt wanting for more.

Then in the month of November 2022, an Idea came to mind. The Idea of “PointsMath”. An Idea to simplify the complexities of points and miles that has relevance in India.

So, we launched “Points Math”  for India and for Indian Travellers. To maximize the value of their points. The motto of Points math is to provide our travellers, and readers, with a piece of information that simplifies the complex world of points of credit cards, airlines, and hotels.
