About us, the independent miles blog for Switzerland

As of

PunkteInsider is an independent, editorially run website about miles, points, frequent flyer and hotel programs, status benefits and current promotions. This page says who is behind it, where the information comes from and which rules a text follows before it appears.

Who runs the miles blog

The site is run by a private individual based in Switzerland, who maintains and takes responsibility for the content. There is no large newsroom and no publisher in the background. Name and contact are in the legal notice. The operator named there is .

Who we explain miles and points in Switzerland for

The site is aimed at readers in Switzerland, Germany and Austria. All content appears in German and in English, and the German texts follow Swiss spelling with “ss”. If you want to start collecting miles, the basic course is the entry point, the program directory covers individual programs, and the promotions list current offers.

Editorial guidelines for research, sources and review

The editorial guidelines apply to every text: it rests only on official sources, is researched with AI support and appears only after the operator has reviewed it.

How the research works

PunkteInsider researches with the support of AI agents that gather information from official sources. Research, writing and review of a text are done by separate agents, and the reviewing agent is a different language model from the writing one. Promotions that an AI finds on program websites reach the system through a secured interface, and only as a draft for review.

Nothing is published on its own. No text appears automatically, and the operator reviews every draft before it goes live.

Which sources count

Statements about programs, status tiers and promotions rest only on official sources: terms, FAQ and status pages of the programs, official pages of airlines and alliances, and official press releases. Blogs, forums and comparison portals never count as evidence, and their content is neither quoted nor retold.

Every text is worded independently. Verbatim passages appear only as marked quotes from official terms. How the review works in detail is described on the methodology page.

What stays open and how current the information is

Where a value cannot be backed by an official source, PunkteInsider does not estimate it and writes “Not specified” instead. Every page shows, as its “as of” date, when its information was last checked. Programs change their terms without warning, so before booking it is worth reading the official terms.

Our stance on miles

Miles have a value, they are not free, and every redemption has opportunity costs. The tone of the site follows from that. PunkteInsider avoids hype and promotional promises and also shows who a program is not worth it for.

Independence and labeling affiliate links

PunkteInsider is independent of the frequent flyer and hotel programs, airlines and alliances it describes, and their brands belong to their respective owners.
