Topic Wiki

A number of active DDFers highly recommend AwardWallet Plus.
Some say it's a "game changer." Others say it has saved them many points/miles for a measly $10/year.

UPDATE:
AwareWallet Plus price has increased (as of 02/17) for new members to $30 a year. Grandfathered accounts remain at $10 a year.

Why do they care to be on awardwallet?

They probably want you on their site more.

I think we should complain to the DOT etc. They are MY points, and I should be able to do whatever I want with them.
If I want to hire someone to graffiti my login info and balance everyday, that should be my right.

According to the T&Cs of many programs, the airline owns the points, not you...

Maybe they don't want some kind of liability in case the third party (award wallet) gets hacked, get your info+miles stolen...

Which concern is completely avoided if all password remain on the local PC.

Maybe they don't want to make it easier for you to redeem your miles

You could try www.usingmiles.com

How does www.usingmiles.com compare to AwardWallet? Can you still access American and Delta through UsingMiles?

I guess we can assume it's just a matter of time before Delta pulls out of UsingMiles as well

Unfortunately, this means AW will have a hard time surviving as more airlines join this list...
