I mean, I'd like to think you were going to provide me some great service.. but then that means I could register a domain name and put up a slick looking homepage and start collecting passwords :)

Just a side note, but do you use some other collection API such as Yodlee or are you maintaining your own data scrapers for all the airline sites?

Aw shucks you've uncovered our master plan.

We have our own account scrapers augmented with a partner API from AwardWallet for the more esoteric programs (CVS Rewards anyone?)
