Award Wallet is 99% fine. Don't just believe one person being incredibly pessimistic. AW hasn't been hacked on its side. If you use a weak password potentially your account could be hacked. But it's laughable to talk about hacking AW on the IHG board with its "
state-of-the-art" 4-digit PIN code...
I track accounts daily for multiple friends and family - often via VPN - and I have never come across some of the account locking issues that 1flyer is claiming. Which isn't to say they don't happen - but the chance of 1 person having a random ffp account locked is miniscule.
The advantages of AW far outweigh the rare issues.
IHG practically wanted you to forget about the points and have them expire. AW will remind you...
