Do you use this to update both miles and credit card points?

Does it keep track of expiration dates as well?

Not sure if anyone else had this issue -- I can only view Chase Ultimate Rewards for my Sapphire card on AwardsWallet - it's not showing my Ink Bold business card. Anyone else have this problem?

Not sure if anyone has posted this already but this is the way I keep track of everything now since airlines have cracked down on the tracking sites.

started using "usingmiles.com"

hey where did the board disapear too?

It looks like some of the programs needed to be added manually and don't update automatically. Tried to add Southwest Airlines and Delta - both showed that I can only add it manually, so it won't automatically keep track of it for me. Are you entering these airlines manually as well?

You need to give them your email log in? That worries me....

I didn't try it yet, however I like their idea that they don't need to go on the airlines website so they can't be blocked like Award Wallet was blocked.

I guess you could keep changing the password and use them only as a "refresh" option but I am using them and love it. Create a Gmail that is used only for your travel sites/miles so there is no personal risk.

That's a good idea, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. I inputted the info and it's been saying "Mailbox scan in progress" all day. It's also completely not working with Southwest. Anyone else had issues here?

Also, I'll ask again - because I'm positive others are using some other program. Any other programs people are using that they like which automatically update all airline miles AND expiration dates??

You aren't positive that people in this forum are using some other program besides this to track all of their miles?

re: AwardWallet - LEWD ADVERTISEMENT
Very shocked at advertising for some poker app in between my activities. Use your imagination; I don't need to suggest what wasn't present in the drawing. This alone could be reason to drop the app or pony up to $4.99 version without ads.

But anyhow...

Just downloaded AwardWallet on my iPhone 4S today. Started to play with app. Do you have to load the reward accounts from the desktop site?

I loaded my United account and hubby's. Showed owner to be same person. I have English name ("slave name") on passport/award accounts, but showed my Hebrew name ("real name") as owner. As reported above, didn't show miles.

Didn't accept my Marriott name/pw although I could log on from desktop computer.

When entering my Wyndham account, got:
"It looks like you are being prompted to answer a security question on the website which holds your account balance. Please click "Check Balance" to answer this question."
However, there is no "Check Balance" because I haven't registered the account yet.

Harumph.

Anybody with more expertise with "UsingMiles.com" that was mentioned above? How do you like it?

Meanwhile, I'm using LastPass so I can at least keep track of PWs and account numbers that way.

The ink bold currently is broken on their website although they claim it will work soon. And when it tells you theirs a security q then you have to go to the website (not mobile version or app) and click update in the top right corner

The Ink Bold is a credit card issued by Chase

Anyone else had luck with Superfly program reading their emails?

Slightly OT, couldn't find this topic..

Can anyone recommended a good iPhone app to track expenses? I need one that will track and expense every credit card charge and break it down into categories and do the same for my bank accounts.
Most apps seem to categorize only bank account spending but not CC..
I paid for iSpending, but I'm not impressed. Checkbook free version is not good either..

Any new ideas of a program to use to track all airline miles that automatically updates expiration dates of miles??
