They have been around for a while, but under a different name.

Though there's not much useful info in that thread other then the date it was written.

Just got an e-mail today that I've been selected to use the service. Registered a few of my programs and it pulled in all the account info. So far, so good. I think it's a great idea and looking forward to checking it out further.

If you want an invite, PM your email address to me. If you sign up, nothing of value is given to me.
Or try this site:

UsingMiles.com
Seems like a useful site. It tracks miles and hotel points (credit cards soon) and has a booking engine. My one try got some good prices. It also MAY (I did not check this out) check award availability.
It is invitation only. If you want and invite, PM me your email address.
There is a thread on this in travel technology (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/trave...l#post14899233) but I doubt that many will see it there.
I have no interest in the site and get nothing from referrals. I am not endorsing it beyond saying looks interesting.

Seems intriguing, but I don't know that I would be comfortable giving them my user name and password to my loyalty/FF programs. For those who store CC details in their FF accounts (I don't), I cannot imagine that they would want to disclose their login information.

Not impressed with booking engine's approach to award availability. Basically it just shows possibilities and when selected dumps you in plan's web site.
Has anyone else used it and had a better experience?

randy
There's only one frequent flyer technology I trust to manage my 17 million miles -- UsingMiles.com
-- Randy Petersen, Founder of FlyerTalk
btw. randy is a testimonial, i would guess that randy did invest in that company
or why would he act as a testimonial.
if i knew flyertalk is involved, i would be more comfortable in storing some of my not so important accounts there.

These sites are popping up like flies - awardwallet, yodlee, gomiles, accruw, tripit, usingmiles - sounds ripe for a comparison.
If someone can PM an invite, I may try to write something up - I think I've joined the others out of curiosity.

I've been interested in service like this but been wary of trusting them enough to give my account information.

I actually like the site, i tried award wallet, and various others, but I actually like the interface that usingmiles offers. Not for booking, but keeping track of the various progrsms. I only recently noticed that there was a testimonal from randy!
