AwardWallet Skill
Query loyalty program balances, elite status, and transaction history via the AwardWallet Business Account Access API.
Source: business.awardwallet.com — Requires a Business account.
Authentication
Set these in your .env file:
AWARDWALLET_API_KEY— Get from https://business.awardwallet.com/profile/apiAWARDWALLET_USER_ID— Your connected user ID. Find it via the List Connected Users endpoint below.
All requests use the X-Authentication header.
First-time setup gotcha: AwardWallet enforces an IP allowlist on Business API keys. Without your IP whitelisted, every call returns
{"error": "access_denied", "code": "IP_DENIED"}. Whitelist before troubleshooting.
- Where to whitelist: https://business.awardwallet.com/profile/api
- How to find your IP:
curl ifconfig.me- Multi-IP: home, office, hotspot, VPN exit nodes, and any travel locations each need their own entry. Easiest is to whitelist a /24 if you're on a stable residential ISP.
Error signatures
| Response | Meaning | Fix |
|---|---|---|
{"error": "access_denied", "code": "IP_DENIED"} | IP not on allowlist | Whitelist current IP at the developer portal |
Unauthorized / 401 | Bad key | Regenerate key |
Empty accounts array | User ID wrong or no connections | Verify AWARDWALLET_USER_ID |

Workflow: Trip Planning Summary
When planning a trip, run this workflow:
- Pull all accounts
- Filter to Airlines and Credit Cards (transferable points)
- Show a clean summary: program name, balance, elite status
- Note any accounts with errors that might need updating
- Cross reference with transfer partners for the destination
Notes
- History in user/member detail responses is capped at 10 records. Use
/account/{id}for full history. balanceRawis the numeric value.balanceis formatted with commas.- Connected users control their own access level. If data seems limited, they may have restricted sharing.
- SubAccounts exist for programs like Capital One where one login has multiple cards. Check
subAccountsarray.
