points management needed for frequent flier, frequent sleeper, frequent shopper

August 19, 2008 6:48 AM

Hotel points, airline points, credit card points, fast food points -- is there an app out there that helps you track all the various loyalty/awards programs?

Who has time to really keep track of all the points and miles we rack up in a multitude of different loyalty programs? But the truth is that every time we stay at a hotel, or travel to get there, or eat somewhere, or buy anything, we're racking up some kind of points somewhere for some kind of program.

Is there an easy way to track this stuff in one place? As opposed to visiting each program's proprietary website. Maybe some kind of spreadsheet template? A cute and bubbly web 2.0 site would be good too :)

Making a spreadsheet wouldn't be too hard. You could take the basic idea from this AskMeFi, just change the subtracting to adding.

Different sets of columns for each points generating thing.

Yodlee does this, along with tracking other accounts. The Rewards Center view just shows the rewards programs.

USA Today has a free MileTracker app which is particularly good if you have multiple users you want to track.

Try PageOnce by having that page sign into all the different rewards programs sites.

I'll second Yodlee. This is what I use.

Third for Yodlee. It handles financial stuff too and is generally awesome.
