Protect Your Points Act of 2024

This bill, S 5272 (Protect Your Points Act of 2024), requires airlines with frequent flyer programs to protect consumer benefits. It mandates airlines to prominently display the cash value of points in real time, eliminate point expiration dates, allow free transfers of points between accounts with guaranteed equal value, and show both cash and point prices concurrently during flight bookings. Airlines must also provide at least one year’s notice before changing program terms that devalue points or add restrictions. The law directly affects frequent flyer program members and customers of airline co-branded credit cards.
