AwardWallet is 1 of my favorite tools because it keeps track of most of our airline miles, hotel points, and car rental points. For example, you can track your American Airlines miles with Award Wallet.
But not all airline programs, like United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines, participate in AwardWallet. But there’s a way you can still add those miles to your AwardWallet account!
AwardWallet Does NOT Track Delta, Southwest or United Airlines
Link: AwardWallet
But not all airline programs participate in AwardWallet. Some folks though, have pointed out that while you can securely store your account information, AwardWallet does NOT track Delta, Southwest, or United Airlines accounts.
However, you can send your United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines mileage statements to your AwardWallet account and auto-forward them via email. I’ll explain how!
How to Track United Airlines Miles With AwardWallet
Step 1 – Click “Manage Users” or “add +”
Log into your AwardWallet account. From your AwardWallet homepage, click “Manage Users” or “add+” to add an additional user to your account.
Note: You can skip to Step 4 if you’re setting this up for yourself (and not an additional user).
Step 2 – Click “Just Add a New Name”
On the pop-up screen, click “Just add a new name.”
Step 3 – Enter Name & Email
Then you can add a new user to your profile. Enter the new user’s name and email address, then click “Add to your profile.”
For this example, we’re using the name, “Jeff Smisek” and the email jeff.smisek@gmail.com.
To add the new user to your account, click “Continue.”
Step 4 – Add United Airlines Account to Your Profile
The next step is to add an account to Jeff Smisek’s profile. From your AwardWallet homepage, either click the “+” icon at the top of the screen or the “+” icon next to the name.
A. Type “United”
You can add a United Airlines account by typing “United” in the search field, and selecting it.
B. Click “add+”
Or you scroll down through the list to United Airlines and clicking the “add+” icon.
C. Use the United Airlines sign-up link (sign-in required).
You can also add a United Airlines account via this link (sign-in required).
Step 5 – Enter Log-In Information
After adding your United Airlines account, enter your account information, check the box to allow AwardWallet to (securely) access your account information, and click “Add.”
You can have your United Airlines account statements forwarded to you.
United Airlines, Delta Airlines and Southwest Airlines, are technically not supported by AwardWallet, as you may have noticed by AwardWallet’s disclaimer.
However, you can forward your United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines statements to your AwardWallet account and your email via Outlook, Yahoo, or Gmail.
Step 6 – Click “New” to Update Your United Airlines Email Address
To forward your United Airlines account statements, you have to update your United Airlines account email address, which you can do through this link (sign-in required).
After you sign-in to your United Airlines account, from the E-mail Subscriptions page (sign-in required), click “New” to add a new email address to your account.
Enter your AwardWallet email address, which is your user name, followed by “AwardWallet.com.” For this example, we’re using the email address of jeff.smisek@AwardWallet.com, where “jeff.smisek” is our AwardWallet user name.
After you have entered your AwardWallet email, click “Save.”
Step 7 – Subscribe to AwardWallet Updates
You can subscribe to AwardWallet updates by having AwardWallet forward them to you.
From your United Airline’s Email Subscription page (sign-in required), check the “Subscribe” circle, enter your AwardWallet email, and click “Save.”
Step 8 – Receive Account Updates via AwardWallet
You have now updated the email address in your United Airlines account, and statements will be forwarded to you via AwardWallet!
Bottom Line
You can track most of your airline miles, hotel points, and car rental points, like American Airlines miles, with AwardWallet.
But United Airlines, Delta Airlines, and Southwest Airlines aren’t trackable with AwardWallet. But there’s a workaround.
You can forward your United Airlines account statements from AwardWallet to your email.
Yeah, I guess people (Ryan/Kelly) dont read stuff entirely, but this AUTO updates your account with the statements that are forwarded to your AwardWallet email address. Alexi made that clear above.
How can I use AwardWallet to track my and my husband’s points together? We have several CC (Chase ink, SP) and want to see them all together. Is that possible?
@Ali – You can add them to your Award Wallet account.
Hello, Alexi here from AwardWallet. So the point of this feature is just that – if we get your valid statement we definitely update your AwardWallet account automatically based on that email. I can assure you this feature does work, we have over 250,000 members right now and a ton of emails processed this way. If it doesn’t work, then something went wrong in your specific case (perhaps you sent it to the wrong address or the statement was never sent in the first place). If you contact us via https://awardwallet.com/contact.php we will look into it.
Also, here is a quick trick / test you can run right now: open the page where your account info is shown (i.e. https://www.delta.com/acctactvty/myskymiles.action) – you can use the auto-login link for that on AwardWallet.com, and send it to your AwardWallet email address (yourusername@AwardWallet.com) by copy pasting the entire page (ctrl-a, ctrl-c, ctrl-v) and you will see that your account will be updated. You can also save this page as a file and send it as an attachment or even print it to pdf and send the pdf file as an attachment. All of those methods should work as long as you grab the right page…
Cheers,
-Alexi
I agree with the first comment. This doesn’t seem like it solves anything.
Thanks, Daraius, for your very helpful blog. One observation on your AwardWallet item this morning…having airline award statements sent to AwardWallet and then forwarded to our personal email doesn’t seem very efficient, since we could instead have the airlines send the statements directly to our personal email address. Forwarding them through AwardWallet would only seem to make sense if AwardWallet would use the info in the statements to update our personal AwardWallets. The AwardWallet website seems to imply that it will do this, but I’ve tried forwarding my United, SW, and Delta statements to AwardWallet and have not yet seen my miles updated into my personal AwardWallet. Is there some way to do this that I have somehow not understood? If so, perhaps you could explain in the blog how to do this? Thanks!
