Don't be disappointed. Never miss a deal or a points run. DisPoint is your private library for the deals YOU find β€” the promo codes, gift-card offers and bonus-points runs you spot and then forget about until they've expired. CAPTURE FROM A SCREENSHOT See an offer in an email, an Instagram story or a group chat? Screenshot it, tap Share, choose DisPoint. On-device text recognition reads the retailer, the offer and the expiry date and hands you a filled-in form to check. Nothing is saved until you confirm it, and the image never leaves your phone. A DEPARTURE BOARD FOR YOUR DEALS Your stack reads like an airport board: retailer, offer, time left, status. DEPARTED, FINAL CALL, BOARDING, ON TIME, SCHEDULED. One glance tells you what needs you today and what can wait. FOLLOW THE CREATORS YOU TRUST The Australian points community finds the good runs first. Follow your favourite creators and their drops land straight on your board, marked in their own colour so you always know whose tip it was. Add anything that looks good to your own stack in one tap. Creators are invite-only, and you can report or block any of them at any time. WHAT ARE THOSE POINTS ACTUALLY WORTH? Point Potential turns a headline into a real figure. A multiplier offer asks what you plan to spend; a flat "1,000 points per gift card" offer asks how many you bought. Store points are converted at the fixed published rate β€” Everyday Rewards to Qantas, Flybuys to Velocity β€” so you see the frequent flyer number, not just the shop one. The assumptions are printed on screen, always. These are estimates to compare offers, not promises. GOALS THAT SHOW THE WHOLE TRIP Saving for Japan? Add the route and DisPoint suggests each leg, including the flight home, plus accommodation. Enter what you expect each to cost and they become milestones that tick off as your balance grows β€” so you know the outbound flight is covered, and exactly how far to the next one. Works for products and plain point totals too. NEVER MISS AN EXPIRY Reminders 7 days out, 1 day out and the morning of. A month calendar showing everything that lapses and when. Home screen widgets with the next departure. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no sign-up. Your library lives on your device and in your own private iCloud. DisPoint never asks for your Qantas, Velocity, Flybuys or Everyday Rewards login and never reads a balance from them β€” you add your programs yourself and update balances when you like. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE Capture, reminders, the widget and iCloud are always free. DisPoint Pro β€” a one-time purchase β€” removes ads and unlocks unlimited goals, all ten themes and icons, CSV export, per-item reminder timing and the advanced calculator. Built in Australia, for Australian shoppers and the points community.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ping at none against DisPoint's 1. Ping also leads on ads (none vs shown). DisPoint's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
