AwardWallet tries to do this, but some providers ban it from accessing their systems, so AwardWallet has gotten cute with workarounds, like setting up your email to auto forward your email statements and then importing the balance data.

I've heard many people in favor and against AwardWallet. It seems convenient, but I too am concerned with sharing my passwords with a faceless website.
What are the "pros" using to consolidate? They just track on Excel or something? There has to be a trustworthy tool that can be used.
I don't have many programs to consolidate, maybe 10, and even at this low number I find it difficult to keep track of things.
Are there any other systems that help with this that are somewhat safer?

I too distrust sites that aggregate credentials. Like AwardWallet, but also personal finance sites Mint. As much as they take security seriously, the very way they operate paints a big target on their back... and information security is seeming like a cat and mouse game these days. I just use Excel.
