point.me Launches Travel Hub to Help Fans Find Award Flights and Experiences for Soccer’s Biggest Summer Event

NEW YORK CITY, May 16, 2026 – Going to the 2026 World Cup may feel increasingly out of reach, but point.me is opening a new way in. point.me, an award flight search and loyalty platform for travelers, has launched a travel hub to help fans deal with rising prices and limited availability by finding flights with points and unlocking match tickets and experiences. 

The new platform — events.point.me— combines flight search, ticket access and travel planning tools in one place. The site allows fans to find award flight deals to matches, compare cash and points pricing and search routes by team, match or host city, all powered by point.me’s real-time award search engine, which scans availability across more than 150 airline and loyalty programs.

Fans can also access match tickets, packages, and fan experiences with cash, through partner FrequentFan, a sports and entertainment experiences platform that provides access to premium tickets, VIP hospitality and once-in-a-lifetime fan moments. The two companies are backed by investor Brian Kelly, founder of The Points Guy, underscoring the increasing importance of points as a form of travel currency. 

Tickets are available on a first come first-serve basis.

FrequentFan works with trusted ticketing and VIP partners to offer access to major sporting events. 

“The World Cup is not just a trip. It is a once-in-a-generation fan moment,” said Jordan Fogarty, Founder & CEO of FrequentFan. “At FrequentFan, we help fans get closer to the moments they care about most, whether that means premium tickets, VIP hospitality or original experiences we create with athletes, partners and brands. Partnering with point.me makes the journey smarter from the flight all the way to the match.”
