Travel Tools - Thoughts on Travelfli.com? Search for awards?

Anybody heard of Travelfli (http://travelfli.com/)? From reading their blog, it sounds like they are trying to build an award seat search engine. They have yet to launch, at least not publicly, so any discussion at this point would be speculation, but the concept certainly sounds interesting. Thoughts?

Note to mods: Not sure if this should go in TravelBuzz or MilesBuzz.

I heard of it through TechStars...sounds neat. I'll be interesting to see how it turns out when it releases...

As the stated aim of the site is to manage frequent travel accounts and to help accountholders to book reward seats, please continue discussion in our MilesBuzz forum. Ocn Vw 1K, Moderator, TravelBuzz.

Travelfli /UsingMiles founder charged with $450,000 scam! No wonder these jokers couldn't put together a decent product -- they were just living large in Breck! What a joke.

'An arrest affidavit released Friday details allegations that Austin Slattery Veith, 32, raised millions of dollars over the last couple of years to fund Internet start-ups -- with the founders of online luggage giant eBags among his biggest investors -- and diverted about $450,000 to his personal accounts.'

I'm glad that AwardWallet is poised to eat their lunch!

Man!

I was definitely nervous about putting my passwords into usingmiles.com!

Now this!

My Profile -> Delete My Account.

Of course, you just get: "Your account has been disabled." which isn't really the same as "deleted" but it's better than nothing.

I just opened my award wallet account few days back and I did not like the idea of putting in the PIN on their server. I wish they could work out a solution to pull that info with out the pin even if it is only in a read only mode.

Funny, the usingmiles website now shows you as the Founder..... no mention of any other co-founders? :confused:
