Moonlight Labs and Flyer Talk
As part of my consolidation into Hilton (Lifetime 370,000 +) and Continental (425,000 and growing) I have made the following transfers:
UAL to Hilton Honors 20,000, a second UAL transfer to Hilton Honors. Starwood to UAL, Mariott to Delta, Creation of Hilton Honors Mutual Fund, Transfer of wife's Delta points to Hilton Honors, Redeemed three round trips from my Delta account, building residual balance on Delta to 5,000 to transfer to Hilton, Accuing Safeway and Idine to round up my United account back to 5000 . . .
Consolidate Consolidate Consolidate
Needless to say keeping track of balances crossing between the programs would be a nightmare without a product like MileTracker.
What I like about Miletracker is that all of your password and account information is stored on your PC and not a Web server.
After receiving a personal e-mail regarding the changes required when Hilton added a last name prompt I visited the web site and noticed the support prompt.
I sent a donation equall to the anual fee for a server based product
Here is the response I received from Mr. Mike Hoeffner.

Thank you very much for your donation, David!
I've received a handful of smaller donations, but only one other as large as yours. While there have been lots of supportive comments on the forums at FlyerTalk, there's been very little financial support (through donations or affiliate links) for what I've built. My goal is just to build really cool and practical tools to make people's lives easier. I don't feel like I need to make money off of it, but I definitely don't want to lose money on it either. Fortunately I've had some interest from third parties that might eventually make this an easier task financially, but until that happens (if it ever does), donations like yours will help significantly in allowing me to continue making progress.
Thanks again!

Obviously Mr. Hoeffner is far too humble to aggressively request support, however the challenge of maintaining an application that can access 34 different web sites (not including the links to the individual FT threads) and track you progress needs financial support. No matter how good of job Mr. Hoeffner does with his open source program, he must stay current with changes made to 34 websites causing continual updates.
Let’s show our support for his efforts and help the cause
In case you haven't visited the website lately since you can get the updates with a single click here's the link:
