Unfortunately they were unable to secure funding to continue development, sending out the following e-mail to users.
Fellow Travelers,
Two years ago, we began Pointimize and AwardTravel.com as a way to bring our vision for points and travel to users. We’ve been blessed with outstanding support from our users and have been fortunate enough to have won a few startup awards. What’s more, without the support of our investors and the dedication of the team members here, we wouldn’t have been able to achieve what we have up until this point.
However, despite all the hard work and effort put forth, we weren’t able to secure the necessary funds to further continue services and will officially end bothpointimize.com and AwardTravel.com onJuly 9 at 11:59pm PST.
After termination of all services, all users’ data will be deleted, if you’d like to make a copy or back-up, please do so before July 9.
Thanks again for supporting Pointimize and AwardTravel.com. Wish you all the best in the future journey.
I’ll be sorry to see Pointimize & AwardTravel go. We had some plans to do some interesting things with the data that Pointimize was able to collect, but that will no longer be possible.
