i am baffled by the blind trust that people here seem to be enthusiastically placing in sites like award wallet. i would NEVER provide logon information to a third party to any site i have a financial stake in. why would i trust them? i have more to lose by my information being compromised than i have to gain by participating in the service that they provide. give my security info to award wallet???? never.
