I finally got time to start using it, after playing with AwardWallet and GoMiles for a while, and I'm unimpressed so far. My initial session of trying to load the 20 programs available (I have 28 in AW) yielded an hour of frustration, 8 programs loaded multiple times, and two hung browsers. Some more work tonight to get all 20 in and 8 say "Hold tight, this program will be available soon!". And one of the "hold tight, coming soon" is Midwest Miles, which no longer exists.

It also tells me that I'm somehow CP status on USAir with 509 miles. (hint - several digits are missing). I'll see how their support is - I emailed GoMiles with a glitch not long ago and it was fixed in a matter of hours. First I need to figure out how to report the glitch - it's listed as a Beta product but there's no obvious "report a bug" feature (maybe I'm spoiled by the Firefox 4 beta reporting features I've been using)

I've yet to play with the Alerts for Find Flights functions, but so far it's way behind AW and GM as an award program tracking tool.

EDIT: I just noticed two of the hotel programs are also missing multiple digits, so it has 9 programs correct, and 3 of those are zero balance that may or may not actually be right.

Just got a invite to start using this a few weeks back and decided to join.

Very nice interface, I'm not sure I'll use it to make any bookings, but I like the program view at-a-glance for all my FF memberships. Nice tool.

Does anyone have more recent experience with this tool?

I am particularly interested in using it for award travel searching (so I wondering things like do the search function, and the booking link, work well? can it search multiple dates? will it do automated searching with email notification?).

They are asking for $30 for a yearly subscription, which isn't going to break the bank, but also isn't cheap for a product they describe as still being in beta, so any additional info. on whether people have found it reliable and useful would be appreciated.

Didn't see any more recent information. Anybody did give it a shot and was it useful ?

Please enjoy a free Premier subscription on us! This will save you from spending the $29.99.

Anyone see any advantages of this over Award Wallet? I added a few accounts and it worked about the same, but the interface isn't as nice.

The link doesn't seem to work. Was this a time-sensitive offer?

Be wary of UsingMiles, I don't know if I'd trust a website with a founder that plead guilty to fraud.

I signed up for a free account but no American and Southwest is a manually entry, my two primary airlines. (Incidentally, their website said that they support both.)
