AwardWallet Alternative: The Tracker That Forecasts Your Status (2026)

By Daan Zwets ·Published ·Updated ·4 min read

Independent Miles Mosaic guide. No programme partnerships, no account linking, no scraped balances. Sources cited below; corrections welcomed.

Stylised abstract representing multiple loyalty programmes consolidated into one view, illustrating the AwardWallet alternative comparison.

AwardWallet reads your current balance and asks for your airline logins to do it. Miles Mosaic answers the question that decides your year, will your booked trips keep your elite status, and never asks for a single loyalty password.

If you are searching for an AwardWallet alternative, you are usually one of two people: the multi-programme traveller who refused AwardWallet over password sharing, or the AwardWallet user tired of the price increase and the airline blocking. This page is for both. It leads with the one thing no tracker does, the requalification forecast, and closes with the privacy and reliability story. If you want a straight feature-by-feature table instead, see the Miles Mosaic vs AwardWallet head-to-head comparison.

Why elite chasers are switching

1. The price went up, and the value did not change

AwardWallet Plus raised its annual price from $30 to $49.99, applied to all subscribers. For that, you still get a balance reader, not a forecast of whether you will keep your status.

2. The airlines keep blocking it

The big US airlines block AwardWallet's automatic access, and United cut it off entirely, joining American, Delta and Southwest. A tracker that the airlines lock out is a tracker that goes stale exactly when you need it.

3. It holds your passwords, and it has been breached

AwardWallet stores your loyalty logins to scrape your accounts, and in 2015 roughly 250 of those accounts were compromised. The model that requires your password is the model that can leak it. Miles Mosaic never asks for one, so there is nothing to breach.

The question no tracker answers

Every tracker tells you your balance today. None of them tell you whether the trips you have already booked will carry your AAdvantage Platinum, your Delta Platinum Medallion, your United Premier 1K, or your Marriott Titanium into next cycle.

That forecast is the whole reason Miles Mosaic exists. Enter or forward your trips and we project requalification across 31 programmes, 24 airline and 7 hotel, before the deadline. No password. No scraping. No airline can block math you do on your own trips.

AwardWallet wins on raw programme count. Miles Mosaic wins on the only question that decides whether you keep your status, and it does it without your password.

Straight answers

"AwardWallet already tracks my points for $49.99."

It reads your current balance. It does not tell you whether your booked trips will keep your status next cycle, and it is blocked by the big US airlines. We forecast requalification, and we never need a password.

"Why would I switch trackers?"

You do not have to drop anything. Keep using whatever shows your balance. Miles Mosaic adds the one thing none of them do: the forecast of where your booked trips actually land you.

"Is the breadth as good?"

AwardWallet tracks more programmes. We track the ones elite chasers in the US actually requalify in, 31 in total including hotels and transferable currencies, and we forecast them instead of just listing a number.

"Is it really free to start?"

Explorer is free forever: current status plus this quarter's projection, one airline and one hotel, no card, no password. Pro adds the full-year forecast, what-if simulation, and devaluation and expiry alerts.
