I just paid $3. Considering the interaction I just had with them, it's money well spent, and I'll increase my contribution next time around.

I have benefitted from AwardWallet and will pay the increased amount the next time they notify me.
Not to say that the service is without blemishes. E.g.,
Not to say that the service is without blemishes. E.g.,
1. Recently the Amex Membership Rewards is showing how many points I can be advanced, as well as how many I actually have. Maybe this information is beneficial to some, but not to me or my family.
2. The Balance update numbers, red or green, are almost useless because the time period is not defined. If it shows that my balance has gone down by 25,000 miles, there is no way to tell if that change occurred yesterday or two months ago. It may show that same change every time I log in for weeks at a time. It should be since you last checked.
3. This evening I received an email from AwardWallet indicating that I have a new AA reservation from AUS to Amman, Jordan, leaving in 3 days. This was a tremendous surprise, since no such travel is planned. I called AA with the record locator from the email, and the CSR told me that corresponded to a trip that was put on hold, and cancelled, back in March.
AwardWallet has flaws, but I still find it better than MileTracker.

From DansDeals..,
You can get "AwardWallet Plus” for free by clicking on “My Account,” “Upgrade to AwardWallet Plus,” type in that you elect to pay $5, proceed to payment options, click on the credit card option, and then type in the following coupon code and press enter: foxnomad
That will give you a free 6 month subscription (or addition) to the plus service!

Hi, I did it just before I posted and it added 6 months of plus service and now my account shows “AwardWallet Plus (expires: Apr 4, 2011)″ Perhaps it was because it was near time for renewal? I love AwardWallet !

I feel a bit funny saying this, but.....
FT, it seems to me, is often an arena for the "us versus them" battle. We are me and all of you. Them is the companies - airlines and hotels - that offer points and challenge us to make the most of them.
So I'm a bit put off by the desire to see how cheaply (or free) they can get AwardWallet for. To me, they are part of "us" - the home team hoping to make the most of our points/miles. I value them and, I can assure your give a whole lot more than $5 to let them know that and to inspire them to do better and better for me and for us.
I respectfully suggest that some of you reconsider your attitudes and see AW as an ally and not just another tree whose fruit we live to pick.
