![]() AwardWallet is a great tool if you have rewards account with multiple airlines and hotel loyalty program. It allows you to track the mileage for different programs from single page and thus enable any changes to your account. It lists the account balances along with expiration dates for this rewards account. It also emails at set interval to notify of the account mileage expiration. AwardWallet has a free version as well as a paid version called "AwardWallet Plus" which has annual fees of $30. Below are the features which are available for both free and paid version of AwardWallet. The best part of AwardWallet is that the most important features are available on the free version as well. One of the important feature is "Track rewards for your family members". This feature allows to track mileage of multiple people from single login and thereby avoiding the hassle of maintaining separate logins for different members. This is very useful if only one member manages all the accounts and thereby can look up balances for the members added to the account. You can either access their AwardWallet account by either "connect with another person" or directly add their airline/hotel accounts to your AwardWallet by using "Add a new person" to your account. Since it's useful to only have one AwardWallet account it is better to "Add a new person" to AwardWallet. Below are the steps in pictures on how to add someone to your account without they having their separate AwardWallet account. Once you add the person to your profile you can add the select program from "Account" tab, select the reward program and add the owner with their reward program login details. AwardWallet provides with an option to store the passwords either with AwardWallet or locally on your computer. You can thus repeat the process to all multiple people to your account and then easily update the balances along with any expiration from single page.
So, if you are looking to simplify your Airlines/Hotels rewards program tracking then AwardWallet is your answer. Disclaimer: Some of the links used in the post may be referral links and earn referral to this site. We appreciate you supporting the website.

![]() Lot of Airlines where you accrue miles have different mileage expiration policies. American Airlines miles expire after 18 months if there is no accrual or redemption activity on the mileage account. There are many ways on extending the expiration of American Airlines miles and you can see most of the partners here. But most of activity requires you to make some purchase either through AA Shopping mall or perform donation to participating partner non-profit. You only need to earn 1 mile to extend the validity of your American Airlines miles by another 18 months and there is an easier way to do just that. You can register for AwardWallet service for tracking your miles (If you are not register, It is free to join with option of upgrade for a free. You can use my referral here) . After registering you can add your American Airlines account to your AwardWallet account (You can also add other users whose account you manage and whose American Airlines miles you wish to extend to this AwardWallet account). Once registered if you visit any of the blog posts they publish and comment you will earn 5 American Airline miles for 1 or more comment on unique blog posts published by them (Once the comment is approved and once per day). You need to be logged in your AwardWallet account and just before you submit the comment you can select the American Airlines (AA) account you wish to credit 5 miles. The miles usually gets deposited within 5 business days once the comment is approved. You can read more about this feature here.

On top of it these programs are free to join and you can access most of the desired features using the basic account itself. I have listed few of the tracking tools below. Miles & Points Tracking Tools: Award Wallet: This one is my favorite. This program not only tracks most of the airlines (Southwest Airlines and American Airlines are notable exceptions) and hotels but also various credit card loyalty programs, shopping, rental, dining, trains as well as surveys! Few of the notable features are listed below 1. Tracks miles and points balances for most of the reward program without any limit to number of programs you can add to the account. 2. Single account can track rewards for multiple family members and friends. 3. Option to store the passwords on your local computer so as to avoid any unfortunate compromising of account details. 4. Track all the upcoming trips. 5. Track miles & points expiration date so as to avoid losing your valuable miles. UsingMiles: This program is very similar to Award Wallet.
