I worked with James at Point.me over the course of about a month. On the positive side, he was extremely patient and flexible as I went back and forth trying to decide on a trip. I was definitely indecisive, and he handled that aspect very well.However, the overall process left much to be desired — and for $260, I expected more professionalism and structure. I had to fill out the same intake form three different times due to apparent system issues. As someone with 25+ years in tech, I can confidently say this wasn’t user error. It raised serious questions about where my information was going and why it wasn’t properly received or stored.Communication was inconsistent. While James called me at the beginning, later interactions required third-party authentication codes via text, which often failed. It would have been far easier and more secure to continue with a phone call.Security was my biggest concern. Sensitive information, including my wife's birthdate and passport details, was requested via unsecured email. I was also instructed to change my British Airways password to give them temporary access — again, with no post-process guidance on restoring account control or removing James as an authorized user. These steps are obvious to someone with a tech background, but would be risky for a less-informed customer. The lack of secure data handling is, frankly, unacceptable.After the final booking, there was no confirmation from James. I only knew the ticket was booked because I got a British Airways email. I had to follow up to ensure things were moving forward — again, not something you should have to do after paying for a premium service.To add to the frustration, the survey they sent for feedback expired before our booked trip even took place, preventing me from giving formal input.In short: James was helpful in some respects, but the Point.me system is disorganized, insecure, and overly reliant on user effort. I can’t recommend the service in its current form.
