UsingMiles lets travelers track their points and miles all in one place. The site gives travelers a user-friendly site and app for skillfully managing all of their membership and loyalty programs, including United Mileage Plus, Delta SkyMiles, Marriott Rewards, Hyatt Gold Passport, Groupon, Starbucks and more. UsingMiles lets members:
• Track miles and points with over 170 loyalty programs: airlines, hotels, credit cards, daily deals, restaurants and more
• Tired of reading so many emails and an excess of industry mail? UsingMiles streamlines the process with a brilliant alternative: an easy-to-use dashboard that puts all of the information for multiple programs at your fingertips
• Never lose another mile! UsingMiles alerts users when miles and points are expiring so they never lose any hard-earned rewards
• Travelers can book free travel using miles, points or cash all on the site
• Find the most relevant bonus deals each time you shop, travel or play
Around $16 billion in miles expires each year, often because consumers find it too confusing and time-consuming to keep track of all of their various membership and loyalty programs. The site’s founder, Krista Paul, lost over 26,000 miles in a single program and wondered why there wasn’t a better way to manage all of her loyalty programs in one place. Her vision was to create a service that helps stop travelers from losing miles and points, while also making it easy for them to get the most value out of their rewards. She wanted to help travel suppliers (airlines, hotels, credit cards, etc.) provide loyal customers with the best offers during the search experience.
Based in Denver, CO, UsingMiles was recently named to Entrepreneur’s magazine’s list of ’100 Brilliant Companies and was named ‘Best Flight Management App’ by Inc. magazine. The site has a partnership with Randy Peterson and in fact powers his website, MileageManager.
