Web Sightings: Keep track of frequent-flier points

Are you losing frequent-flier miles because you don't know when they expire? Traxo.com, which was largely a social networking site, has a new Loyalty Tracker that makes keeping track of airline, hotel and car rental points easier than spending them.

We weren't convinced we needed this service until we saw the Loyalty Tracker feature. It keeps track of your mileage points (by taking your login/password information) and shows you, on a single page, when they're about to expire. If only it had been available last year. We recently lost one free domestic flight because 30,000 miles expired six months ago, which we discovered when we went to load our Traxo profile. Mileage automatically gets updated when you book a trip. You don't have to go back to Traxo and update.

You might prefer to add only the accounts you use frequently instead of all the travel websites you've ever used. We were too ambitious and added a lot, and decided to fill in passwords later. The result was a long and incomplete list. It looks better when your "Travel Sites" area is filled with mileage numbers and isn't just a running grid of reminders to "finish website setup."
