what website/program is this?
 
I was watching a linked CNN video about earning miles and they guy had a website up - that looked like it kept all his information in once place or was some kind of offer tool. Being new here I was just wondering if people knew what it was because it looked interesting to me.

Thanks.

there's milesport.com, mileagemanager.com, probably several others. Try google-ing frequent flyer tracking and see what comes up

gleff would know for certain, since that screen is showing his account.

And apparently his account numbers, I would not want people sharing my name and account numbers if that was my information on CNN. Or here, I'd take the pictures down.

As stated before, that's awardwallet, but you should definitely delete or at least edit those pictures to blur out account numbers.

Do you happen to have the link to that video? I searched CNN's website for it but couldn't find it.

The easy way to find it is search for Gary's name on the CNN site, it will bring up this page

Well they weren't actually supposed to show the screen that I was showing at that moment on the show, hope y'all don't mind but i've removed the screen shots that include some of my account #s. ;)

Best,

I just used awardwallet for the frist time thanks to this thread, and Mr. Gleff specifically, of course. Yet another reason why I love FlyerTalk.

Thanks, gleff

Well, gleff, probably you should let CNN (& the OP) know and have them "destroy" the evidence before anything (legally) bad happens. :p

He already removed them from my post - but the bigger problem is the CNN video. He should definitely tell them to edit that clip!

Yes he did.

But gleff can't do nothing about the image files you have under your possession, can he? I know you made an innocent post hence my comment included you as a (subject) with a sticking-tongue icon. (Yes, the icon was for you so you wouldn't take it too personal or the wrong way). If I were you, I would erase the image files and let gleff know. But that's me.

As for the part about CNN, I did and do mean business. I am sure gleff will take proper measure to inform CNN.

I understand what you are saying, but what would it matter if I erased them or not? (1) What am I going to do with his account numbers? and (2) the video has been on CNN since January 2010. Surely this can't be the first time he is realizing this so everybody in the world can see those account numbers so I'm not sure me deleting them would change anything.

At the end of the day they are deleted because I just did a screen grab to try and figure out what site it was and I wouldn't know what to do with his account numbers even if I had them. (which by the way they are still on the CNN video. If he is truly worried about people having them, CNN should be the one to talk to).

Maybe he should talk to a lawyer to try and get the video edited? ps - I'm a lawyer if you need help :D
