MileageMinder - a good idea?

Hello everyone - welcome to my first post!

Does anyone have any experience with MileageMinder? I am looking for some sort of similar service - any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

I think they let you know when your miles might expire. I guess I have a system in my office that I can use to remind me of things so why pay for a service to do the same? If you need such a reminder to avoid losing miles, you need to weigh the cost of the service vs. the value of the miles you would lose.

I'm not worried about losing miles - I just want a nice convenient place to see where I stand in all of my various accounts.

Excel or Access work really well and you arent counting on someone else

I use Mile Tracker, have been for years, it is now a service offered through USA Today travel, but what I like about it, is all the information ie. account numbers, pins etc, stays resident on your computer and it goes out to the websites and checks all your accounts at once. I believe I have almost 100 accounts I manage with it, for myself, my husband and my extended family. The one thing they could improve on is the earlier mentioned expiration dates, which is getting a little more difficult now that some expire in 18 months, but I use a spreadsheet to keep up with those.

With Google Docs, one can start their spreadsheet in Excel, upload it to Google Docs, and view/edit it from anywhere in the world.

Check out yodlee.com - it will do even more than just track your miles. And it's free.

Mileport.com is a good site to use to see a balance of all travel balances. And it's an easy way to see when points have posted.

I use it a lot!
