Miles or Points tracking program
I have looked, but have not found an answer to this question. I am looking for a spreadsheet or software program which I can use to keep track of my expected miles. I know about AwardWallet.com to keep up on the balances in each of my programs. However, I often participate in promotions for various points and was wondering if anyone has created a program, database, spreadsheet, etc. in which you can enter the program, the number of miles/points expected, etc. so that one can keep tabs on receiving those points? I try to do it informally now with some use of an Excel Spreadsheet, but was thinking about getting more serious. Before I re-created the wheel, I thought it might be good to ask.

For what it's worth, I use mileBlaster, which has a GUI that is much more attractive and easier to work with than Excel.

tracking spending on those new cards should be fairly simple. you could use something as simple as Quicken which downloads all of your transactions whenever you tell it to. I do mine daily. Or you can also just do it via the banks' websites.
but what the OP seeks is a different sort of animal to keep track of all the promos and other things to make sure you ultimately get credit for them

FWIW, I've tried many different software packages, and the only one that reliably synced all my programs was AwardWallet.
