AwardWallet has long been the leading tool for tracking rewards programs. In most cases, setting up accounts to track is pretty straightforward. However, we have to get a bit creative with tracking a few programs in AwardWallet, such as Delta, Southwest, and United.
AwardWallet works securely with 620+ loyalty programs. However, a few airlines restrict access to your information. Despite these constraints, there is a way to still track these rewards programs through AwardWallet, so you can easily track all of your points and miles in one place.

Option #1: Link Your Email Address to AwardWallet
The simplest way to track programs like this is to link the email address you use for these programs to your AwardWallet account. AwardWallet will parse out the important details from these rewards programs and add them to your account. Check out this post for the benefits of linking your email address to AwardWallet.
Steps to link your email address to AwardWallet:
- Confirm which email address you have connected to your rewards program for Delta, Southwest, and United.
- Go to https://awardwallet.com/mailboxes/ and add any email addresses associated with these loyalty accounts.
Option #2: Auto-Forward Your Travel-Related Emails to AwardWallet
If you don't feel comfortable linking your email account to AwardWallet, you can create a filter that automatically forwards emails from all travel-related companies. This way, all the necessary information can be imported into your AwardWallet account without full email access.
Here's the full process to set up Gmail forwarding, but to highlight the steps:
Once Google authenticates you, AwardWallet will auto-approve your request. This takes just a few minutes. You will then continue by downloading, opening, and creating filters for several files that contain code for forwarding specific travel-related emails to AwardWallet.
Once you complete these steps, you will be all set. Now, AwardWallet will receive forwarded emails with all your award and travel-related content.
Option #3: Set up Auto-Forwarding For Just Emails from Delta, Southwest, and United
If going through that process seems like too much, you can simply set up auto-forwarding for just these programs. AwardWallet will then filter through the clutter to find the necessary account and travel info and insert it into your account in the appropriate places.
The process is similar to Option #2. First, locate your AwardWallet email address at the top of the page here and copy it.
Then, in your email settings, add your AwardWallet email address as a forwarding address.
Note: You may see a prompt that your AwardWallet email address needs to be approved or confirmed, but AwardWallet will auto-approve the forwarding after about 5 minutes.
Back in your Gmail account, copy and paste this text in the search bar — including the parentheses: {from:delta.com from:united.com from:southwest.com from:aa.com}.
Click the Search Options icon at the top right to create a filter.
Check the box to forward the search results to your AwardWallet account and click “Create filter” to complete the setup.
Option #4: Update Your Account on Demand
If you don't want to wait for your next mileage statement to update your new balance, you can generate an update to your account balances on demand by using the following process. This is also described in detail on the edit page of any of these accounts: Delta, United, or Southwest.
- Click “the entire account details page” link to log in to the respective program.
- Ctrl/Cmd+A to select all on the entire webpage.
- Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy the page.
- Back in the AwardWallet program page Ctrl/Cmd+V to paste the web page data into the window.
- Click “Process” and your account should update.
