I've been looking for a Mac-friendly solution to help keep track of reward miles from airlines, hotels, etc. It could be a web-based gadget/widget or desktop app . . . . and preferably free!

It seems that such a tool would be relatively simple and generally quite useful, but I have not found anything that looks decent.

Any ideas? Is there something that I am missing?

Excel? Or Google Spreadsheet if you want it free.

Thanks, but not really what I had in mind. I am hoping for something more along the lines of Mint.com, but for reward miles. Essentially a tool that can auto-download up-to-date mileage summaries from many different sites (airlines), and provide these summaries in a single location.

Basically, I'm lazy and want a tool to go out and get the info for me and display it in one spot.

How about the webclip widget? Just crop it around the miles balance at each site.

Does Webclip handle logins? I was not familiar with Webclip, but it sounds interesting, if only for other uses.

Feel free to try it out instead of asking. I tried the Marriott member's page and a Webclip doesn't update without the password. YMMV.
