# Point loans

> A ledger for points you've lent to friends and family, and what they've paid back.

If you book travel with your points for other people and settle up later, the point loan ledger keeps score. It's a standalone ledger under **Points → Point loans** and doesn't touch your balances or reports.

## Record a loan or a repayment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the ledger">
    On the Points page, click **Point loans**, then **Add entry**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Loan or Repayment">
    A loan adds to what the borrower owes; a repayment subtracts from it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the entry">
    Pick the borrower, program, and date, and enter the number of points. Notes are optional. Borrowers are managed under **Manage borrowers**, up to ten, each with a name and color.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Click **Add loan** or **Add repayment**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Reading the ledger

The stats at the top show **Net points**, loans minus repayments, and **Outstanding borrowers**, anyone whose net isn't zero. Filter the table by borrower to see one person's running tab. Every entry can be edited in place or deleted, and the total row updates as you go.

Keep your actual balances up to date on the [Points](/cards/points) page; the ledger won't adjust them for you.
