AwardWallet—the premier tool for tracking your points and miles—just got even better with the addition of a new method of keeping track of your mileage expiration dates. The new function lets you export your account expiration dates to your preferred digital calendar. That way you can see when points and miles are expiring right on your everyday calendar.
Enabling Calendar Expiration Notifications
Adding calendar notifications is simple and straightforward. After logging in, go to your AwardWallet dashboard. Click on views, then select Account Expirations Calendar import.
At this point, you will be prompted to make your AwardWallet calendar public. This does not mean that everyone can see your calendar. Instead, only those that have your specific link will be able to see your expiration dates.
Once you have given your approval, you will be presented with your individual mileage expiration calendar URL. Copy the link and leave it on your clipboard.
From this point, the process will depend on your calendar of choice. We have step-by-step directions for each of the three calendar options:
For those using Google Calendar, open your calendar and click on the plus sign next to “Other Calendars” on the left-hand side.
Then select “From URL”:
Finally, paste your calendar link into the new window and click “Add calendar”.
At this point, all your expirations will be automatically added to your calendar. In my case, my first set of expiring miles are on June 30, 2020. My calendar shows me 1,533 Lufthansa Miles and More miles are going to expire:
This is the general view, and if you want more information and links back to AwardWallet, all you need to do is click on the notification to get a window will all the relevant information.
Final Thoughts
The team at AwardWallet has been working hard behind the scenes to add to the arsenal of tools to keep track of your points and miles. This new feature joins other recent additions such as the option to track passports and travel documents and get instantaneous balance change alerts through Balance Watch.
AwardWallet members already have the option to receive balance expiration emails and push notifications through the AwardWallet app. In fact, AwardWallet sent over 1.3 million of these expiration warning emails to members in 2019. These alerts have helped keep the expiration of points and miles tracked through AwardWallet to a minimum.
However, we realize that some members appreciate additional ways of reminding themselves of expirations dates. With this new feature, your day-to-day calendar will give you all the heads up you need to take action and save yourself valuable points and miles.

This is a very useful feature. I used to have to do this manually – look out for email with exp dates etc. and manually enter it my calendar…
keep it up
This is great! Thanks for adding this feature to keep up with rewards.
Such good news!! Would not have noticed my miles are close to expire otherwise.
Excellent enhancement and available to all members! Thank-you.
Thank you very much for adding this feature, I think this will be a fantastic benefit. Thanks!
This new feature is great. I would have completely lost out on my AA points w/o the reminder that I received via email. During these times, the last thing I’m thinking about are my mileage expiration dates.
Great tool – you just didn’t mention that this feature is only available to AwardWallet Plus members.
Nope, this feature is available for all members.
I love this feature and I’ve been using more calendar feeds in general. But when I went into this, it gives only the option for individual account calendar feeds. I keep track of 6 people’s accounts, so in the current iteration of this feature it looks like I’d have to create 6 feeds. Is that correct?
In your next version of this, could you consider a consolidated calendar feed? If not possible, or too technically difficult, I understand as this would just a very nice to have.
Thanks again for always improving.
Many thanks for your feedback! We will discuss that.
Very useful feature.
Now it would be even easier keep active our accounts.

Awardwallet keeps getting better and better

This is awesome! Thanks for continuing to make the site better and better!
That’s a great feature! Going to try it right away
Thank you. This is very helpful!
Excellent news, is it a feature available for all accounts or only premium ones? Thank you.
Yes, for all accounts.
Wow, thank you. You guys are constantly looking out for us. 🙂
Just a heads up… when I followed the steps, selecting Account Expirations Calendar import… it allowed me to proceed successfully, but it also gave me a popup saying it was for AW Plus members only. Here’s the text of the popup:
“This feature is only available to AwardWallet Plus members. By upgrading to Plus you support our development efforts, which makes the service better. We appreciate your support!
Please click OK to proceed to the upgrade page, or Cancel to close this window.”
Again, it worked fine, so you likely just have to turn this popup off.
Thank you for letting us know! 🙂
