I love PageOnce. As I said, it's what MileTracker could have been before it became useless.

The little blurb when you run it on the iPhone suggesting the Pro/paid version is not at all obtrusive or annoying, imo.

And I really like the fact that you get daily emails from the website noting what balances have changed and how much.

Plus is that it tracks everything under the sun (especially good for bank accounts)

Can you do husband and wife to track all mileage/hotel programs?

I would never trust a third-party site with bank account information.

Agreed

I agree. I am even a little leary of giving up my FF accounts. I still would do it if it was very convenient.

I can't quite figure out the Yodlee.com. I don't see anything about FF accounts?

Yes, you can add multiple accounts of the same type.

Yodlee is pretty secure. After all some major banks including BofA are their clients and their apps are based on Yodlee's Moneycenter. All the password information is encrypted. If you don't trust them, U shouldn't trust BofA, Wachovia etc.

Even though I didn't like working for the company and had some issues with it, I find Moneycenter the most convinient and simple way to track all of my accounts and use it on daily basis.

When you link an account, you can just type in the frequent flyer program.

As for husband/wife, they won't segregate them for you but I think you can enter in multiple logins.

I think it is a valid concern because it's presents a single point of failure. However, as you've pointed out, a lot of financial institutions trust them so they have an incredibly strong incentive to keep themselves hack-proof.

i know i'm in the minority, but my preferred mile manager remains miletracker. for me, its key benefits are (1) it is a desktop program separate from my browser (this matters when i have 5-10 windows open, but want to quickly check my balances) and (2) i can keep track of my entire family's FF accounts.

while it doesn't keep track of expiration dates, i'm not aware of any free manager that does. there are programs that it can't keep track of (mypoints, e.g.), but it does track the ones i really care about.

Pageonce does, for some airlines (Northwest, Southwest, United, US Airways, at least).

Ad-driven, but otherwise free.

Are there any that keep track of expiration and are secure? I am very afraid of someone using the logins and passwords to buy tickets if I don't login often enough and find that they disappeared. And the Airline would deny responsibility because it was not their site. I have had fraud on my sprint account.

USA Today Miletracker seemed to have started off well, but has gone down hill now and cannot log into many of the programs. Also does not have expiry dates.

Have stared using awardwallet.com. Track all family members FF accounts together. Some nice touches like My Trips which pulls up all your travel/hotel bookings and also emails to you when there is a change in any account. Expiry dates on for a few programs only, but if you donate them a few bucks, they can give you expiry dates on all programs. The only downside is web based so someone has all your userids and passwords ( Although I think they have a computer based version too)

Thanks for pointing out the forbes free version of mileage manager. I somehow missed that one. Is it just as good as the paid service?

AFAIK it's the same (ie it has the same futures), only it looks a bit different.
