Anyone donated the 10 bucks required to get the new awardwallet onecard?

"AwardWallet OneCard is a credit card sized plastic card with magnetic strip (which enables you to check in for your flights at airport kiosks ). The card will have your personal account numbers and program phone numbers printed on the front and back sides. The card can contain up to 30 different loyalty program accounts listed. We have two types of cards: gold and silver. Those AwardWallet members who have over 1 million miles and points will get a gold card and those who have fewer than 1 million miles and points will get a silver card. The cards will be shipped internationally as well as within United States via regular United States Postal Service."

Yup. I had donated $10 a few days before they announced it, so they offered me one right away. It's in the mail.

The onecard sounds pretty cool but I wonder how secure it is? I'm also glad to learn that I can have more than just my loytaly programs under one AW account. Makes my money donation even more worth it!

Free upgrade coupon: free-wvvoop. 10 total.

signed up for award wallet one month ago and have 5 family members under one account. Definitely would be worth 5.00 when I have to renew in 5 months. Only not perfect thing I noticed was it did not pick up all reservations/travel plans booked in my name or other family members. But I can manage to remember where/when I'm travelling better than I can remember everyone's programs or expiration dates.

Wish the update process was faster. Takes *forever*. Happy I have it (on Day 2 with it) but I've realized efficiency is not the program's strong suit.

AW updates my 41 accounts in 3 1/2 minutes. Perhaps it is your web connection?

For comparison purposes has anyone said anything about usingmiles. They claim much more than awardwallet as follows according to their web site:

- Loyalty dashboard: manage all of your loyalty programs in one place!
- Cash search: find the lowest-priced airline and hotel tickets
- Expiring miles/points alerts: never let another mile expire again!
- Search and book award travel: UsingMiles is the World’s First Search Engine for Award Travel!
- Bonus award offers: find the best deals before you buy!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Try updating your accounts with gomiles.com! It takes minutes PER account. I've contacted them twice about it and never heard a peep back.

I'm more than happy with AW's speed checking my 26 accounts.

I just noticed that AW now imports much more detail on travel plans. The hotel reservations include rate, taxes, etc. Kudos to AW for continuously improving their product! ^

Wow didn't notice it, well done AW.

It is really great. Having just started using TripIt, I'm feeling wildly conflicted. I'd love to settle down to Award Wallet for all my travel plans, but am not quite sure it's there yet. Especially because it doesn't interface with the app. Anyone actually using the travel planner as their primary?

^ The Awardwallet tool is almost perfect.
