MilesBuzz! - Mileage Managers...Any Suggestions

All,

I found the following site...www.awardwallet.com (http://www.awardwallet.com). I added a few accounts to it and it is really cool. It is free. I found a couple others sites that are similar but they want money to use the service. Has anyone else used any point managers? This award wallet site seem good for my purposes. However, if anyone has used other site or apps please let me know if there are feature I may be missing in one or the other. Thanks in advance.

TravelWayTooMuch, welcome to FT! As this forum focuses on FT get-togethers and celebrates the personal lives of FT members, I'll move this to MilesBuzz. Ocn Vw 1K, Co-Moderator.

MileTracker has been the most widely used, IMHO, with the various flavors of Yodlee also gaining some notice.

I prefer MileTracker as the info stays on my computer, not someone's server. I do use Fidelity's branded version of Yodlee, but I trust Fidelity and the rigor they place around privacy protection more than what may be a few guys who threw a site together.


And I've noticed quite a flurry of 1st time posters championing some new product - you wouldn't happen to be shilling, would you?

I love yodlee.com... What are the different versions? I just use the oncenter from the homepage and absolutely love it.

As part of the accounts I have with Wachovia they provide a branded version of Yodlee called One Stop that is very effective. I think it is included as part of their web based banking package that I have found works very well.

It certainly has been good for retaining me as a loyal customer. I keep back up Bank of America for flexibility but don't know if they have a version of Yodlee.

I tried miletracker. I like it. But I would also like to get access to my info on the web as I use a few computers as I travel and work. Yodlee looked interesting. However, I think I will continue to use my banks own site for my online banking.

Thanks for the input.

Is miletracker functional once again? I used it a lot until you had to download that other stupid program to get it to work. I now use Yodlee but I prefer the old miletracker.

I don't like the "new" Yodlee OnCenter. The layout is too complex. I much prefer the old "Account Summary" view where I can just see all my balances in a simple list. So I use the Chase branded version:

You may need a Chase account to use it, though. I'm not sure.

Yes, MileTracker is once again fully functional in its standalone version via USA Today. One of the best programs I've ever used. And unless I'm mistaken, the fact that it keeps all of the data on YOUR computer, versus Yodlee's keeping it, is an extra plus plus plus. I use to work for one of the major credit unions, and they always refused to offer Yodlee or its versions to its membership because of privacy concerns, eg the fact that ALL of your data is kept in the hands of a third party.

http://www.usatoday.deskport.biz/ - There are few McPaper adds that surround it, but it is still fully functional and better than the full deskport app that it was embeded in.


I too like the fact that the info is kept local, but I also like being able to access it anywhere on the web and I have enough faith in the privacy policies of Fidelity Investments that they have done the due diligence around the controls in place for my data. Heck, they have all my financial data - adding my FF accounts is small peanuts.

Fidelity's version is called FullView.

I'm guessing that all of the companies listed on Yodlee's client network page offer branded versions to their customers -
