What is the best tool for tracking points and miles?

72

How do you keep track of all of your points and miles?  For the past few years I’ve happily used AwardWallet, which is available both as a web site and a smartphone app.  But is it the best option available?

I recently stumbled upon this old Frommer’s article: 5 Best Websites for Tracking Loyalty Programs.  The author, Dennis Schaal, lists Traxo, AwardWallet, UsingMiles, PointHub, and TripIt (pro version) as the 5 best options, but doesn’t say which of those he likes best.

Reader input requested

I’ve been recommending AwardWallet all along without really knowing if it is better than other options.  Do you use any of those tools or any others?  What do you like or dislike about them? 

Disclosure 1

I was approached quite a while ago by UsingMiles who asked me to promote their service on my blog.  That’s not something I would do unless it was a service that I used myself and really believed in.  So far, though, I haven’t spent much time with the service so I can’t really recommend it one way or another.  Anyway, no compensation was offered, but they did give me a link that would give my readers free lifetime Premier membership.  That sounds pretty good.  If you’re interested, use this link to sign up:

Disclosure 2

AwardWallet offered to run Frequent Miler ads on their site if I would write about their service.  In this case, I do use AwardWallet (and really like it!) so it seemed like a good deal.  That was months ago, and I’m just now getting around to writing something.  Does this post count?  It might count if this post generates many new signups.  Towards that end, if you haven’t already signed up for AwardWallet, please consider doing so with my link:

I won’t get any direct compensation, but if they get many new signups they might run Frequent Miler ads more often (which would be cool!). 

Also, try applying this coupon to upgrade to AwardWallet Pro for free for 6 months:

free-mykznj

If that coupon doesn’t work, check the comments section of this post.  I’ll list additional codes, if possible, or I’ll announce when they’ve run out.

to keep the conversation Elise related to reviews I’ve personally stuck with award wallet for the past year and without the Plus features I would say it’s almost useless but I opted for the 10 dollar upgrade with the card Kingting of all of my programs. so AwardWallet plus Or bust for me.

and if anyone still needs I have 5 Free upgrades left.

Thanks for the UsingMiles link! I signed up and added my accounts yesterday. In case anyone else is just starting with UsingMiles, your Chase cards won’t load. I emailed them about it and got a reply that they are working on this.

award wallet was good but without DL,AA,UA,WN Its not worth much sure it can keep track of most of my hotel points, but even then it has problems with verification questions. It may not be their fault but when I need to manually check 4 out of 6 of my airline programs, I might as well check them all. I have a book with passwords and user ID’s and when I’m up for a award trip I check each airlines site for availability anyway, so I can look at my points then. Whenever I am due a signup bonus or purchase bonus I check to make sure it clears…the only thing I could use is a reminder for point expiration….I lost 32K Wyndham on my wifes account due to inactivity…what sucks is they sent me no less than 3 emails to let me know my points were expiring soon, but not one e-mail for her account.
