BundleUp finds the overlaps and unclaimed perks hiding in your subscriptions, credit cards, and phone carrier: like Peacock you already get free with Walmart+, or DashPass with your Chase card. It shows honest, guaranteed monthly savings with step-by-step instructions. Free.
Would love to see a browser extension version that pops up when I'm about to buy something online, flagging if I already have access to that service through an existing subscription. Would save me from accidental double paying even faster.
@zmra6yh3 Thank you for the feedback, that's a great idea! I'm always looking for new features to add and that is definitely an interesting one
That's very funny timing. I use my dad's HBO account and now that they're cracking down on account sharing I'm trying to figure out how we can still both use the subscription. Apparently if you watch HBO through the Amazon app they don't kick you out, so I was trying to figure out if we could do a bundle with HBO/Prime to allow that while also not spending more money than his current HBO/Disney/Hulu bundle, so this actually will come in handy!
@monstermac77 Thank you for the comment! It seems like a lot of services are having those sorts of crackdowns, so I'm glad to provide something that can help mitigate some of the pain there. The HBO and Amazon app is an interesting nuance, definitely something to consider for the future!
@ceefer22 of course! This kind of stuff always fascinates me. How are you sourcing the bundles? Is there a unified source you scrape, maybe a page for each server, or did you write a crawler that finds this stuff?
@monstermac77
Great question! It's basically two layers.
The perks themselves (Walmart+ including Peacock, Chase including DashPass, that kind of thing) are hand-curated. I research each one against the official source: the carrier's plan page, the card's benefit terms, the provider's help docs, and write it up as a rule in the engine. That part is deliberately manual. It's slow, but being right is the product.
Prices are where the automation actually lives. I wrote a scraper that runs daily against the official pricing pages for the services it tracks (Playwright for most sites, with a Firecrawl fallback for the ones that block a headless browser). It logs everything to a price-history table and flags anything that moved. But even that only surfaces review leads. I verify by hand before a change goes live, because automated price reads are noisier than you'd think (promos, regional prices, and student tiers all fool it).
So: perks researched by hand on purpose, prices semi-automated with a human check. It's very important to me to keep authenticity and honesty as the priority, so I keep the data as present as possible, and I'm always adding new bundles!
@ceefer22 That sounds like a lot of work. Do you have a sense yet for how often the card perks/card benefits change? Like I feel like this would start to become really difficult to keep track of manually.
I had never heard of Firecrawl before, I do a lot of scraping so this is good to know about.
What do you think is missing right now that you plan to add next?
Would love to see a browser extension that flags these perks automatically while I shop or sign up for services, would save me from digging through the app every time.
@ecrinzz3u Seems like that's a common desire, definitely something I'll look at implementing. Any particular services that you can think of that should be added that the extension would be useful for?
