AwardWallet has long been the leading tool to help track rewards programs. In most cases, setting up accounts to track is pretty straightforward. However, we have to get creative with how to track a few programs in AwardWallet — such as Delta, Southwest, and United.

AwardWallet works securely with 670 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.

Here are three options for how to track your Delta SkyMiles, Southwest Rapid Rewards, and United MileagePlus accounts in AwardWallet. Note that you only need to do one of the three — and we've listed the options from easiest to the most manual.

Add Your Account to AwardWallet

The first step to track your Delta, Southwest, or United account is to add your account in AwardWallet. To do so, log into your AwardWallet account. Then, click one of the following links below to start the process:

• Delta SkyMiles: Add an account to AwardWallet
• United MileagePlus: Add an account to AwardWallet
• Southwest Rapid Rewards: Add an account to AwardWallet

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:

1. Confirm which email address you have connected to your rewards program for Delta, Southwest, and United.
2. Go to https://awardwallet.com/mailboxes/ and add any email addresses associated with these loyalty accounts.
3. Once done, click “I'm done linking mailboxes, continue” at the bottom of the page.

Option #2: Setup Auto-Forwarding For Emails from Delta, Southwest, and United

Another approach to get data into your AwardWallet account from these three airlines is to set up email forwarding for any email you receive from these travel partners. AwardWallet can filter through the clutter to find necessary account and travel info and insert it into your account in the appropriate places.

Here's how to set up auto-forwarding in Gmail:

1. Locate your AwardWallet email address at the top of the page here and copy it.
2. 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.
3. Back in your email account, copy and paste this text in the search bar — including the parentheses: {from:delta.com from:united.com from:southwest.com}.
4. Click the Search Options icon at the top right to create a filter.
5. Check the box to forward the search results to your AwardWallet account and click “Create filter” to complete the setup.

Option #3: 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).

1. Click “the entire account details page” link to log in to the respective program.
2. Ctrl/Cmd+A to select all on the entire webpage.
3. Ctrl/Cmd+C to copy the page.
4. Back in the AwardWallet program page Ctrl/Cmd+P to paste the web page data into the window.
5. Click “Process” and your account should update.
