Has anyone given this (http://www.acruw.com) point tracker website a try? I have linked a few of my frequent traveler accounts, and thus far I am very impressed. The interface is clean, and not overly complex. There is some unobtrusive advertising. They also provide points vs. dollars comparisons (using their own estimated point valuations), the sort of thing that gives me a headache.

The don't facilitate point exchanges ala points.com, and frankly that is not something that would interest me. I do realize that I am giving a third-party web site my frequent traveler account passwords. That is something I am ok with, with the exception of my AMEX membership rewards, which I chose to track manually.

My only hope is that they come up with an iPhone app. :D

Thoughts?

SC - thanks for the nice comments about acruw. We went live with some enhancements to the site today, one of which was to re-think the way we do password security. Now, we have a setting where we don't store your passwords - in this case, we prompt you to type them in each time you would like to update.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other feedback.
