Great feedback - we weren't sure whether at this point people would have a clear idea from the homepage of what we were doing w/ the info and they'd just want to get on with things, or if they'd want more contextual explanation.

This is definitely an area for metrics and user testing, but probably better for us to err on the side of caution =)

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?)

Interesting... I'd like to talk to you more offline. If you want to chat, shoot me an email, andrew at ishiboo dot com.
