I finally got time to start using it, after playing with AwardWallet and GoMiles for a while, and I'm unimpressed so far. My initial session of trying to load the 20 programs available (I have 28 in AW) yielded an hour of frustration, 8 programs loaded multiple times, and two hung browsers. Some more work tonight to get all 20 in and 8 say "Hold tight, this program will be available soon!". And one of the "hold tight, coming soon" is Midwest Miles, which no longer exists.

It also tells me that I'm somehow CP status on USAir with 509 miles. (hint - several digits are missing). I'll see how their support is - I emailed GoMiles with a glitch not long ago and it was fixed in a matter of hours. First I need to figure out how to report the glitch - it's listed as a Beta product but there's no obvious "report a bug" feature (maybe I'm spoiled by the Firefox 4 beta reporting features I've been using)

I've yet to play with the Alerts for Find Flights functions, but so far it's way behind AW and GM as an award program tracking tool.

EDIT: I just noticed two of the hotel programs are also missing multiple digits, so it has 9 programs correct, and 3 of those are zero balance that may or may not actually be right.
