CardPointers

Really love this app — I paid for a lifetime membership and it's already paying for itself by revealing many of the credit card membership perks I didn't even realize I was missing — or that are expiring soon!

I'm glad we don't have the credit card frenzy in Europe, but for those in the US this is super useful!

Great and useful app, by a very kind indie dev! Thank you Emmanuel for keeping the great work over the years! Cheers 😀

Hi all! I'm the indie developer behind CardPointers which has helped users save over $100 million through credit card benefits and offers since I launched the first app almost exactly 3 years ago. It's been a wild (and sleep-deprived) journey these last 3 years, as I was working for an SF-based startup while also building CardPointers up until this month. Being able to now focus 100% on my own company has been the best life upgrade I could have ever hoped for. Credit cards are big business for banks, especially in the U.S., and they do an amazing job at signing up new customers with 100k point sign up offers, $100s in credits per year on some cards, and a slew of other benefits -- but most of these go unused by cardholders. That's where CardPointers comes in as it helps users take full advantage of the credit cards they already have: * Add all of your cards in a flash by bank/name (no bank logins are used, to protect your privacy & security). Over 4,000 cards and 800 banks are supported across the world. * The app will instantly sort all of your cards by their various rewards across 18 different categories and hundreds of subcategories, and will automatically load in all of the credits and other benefits you have on your cards. * When making a purchase, it's incredibly quick to check the app to see which of your cards has a 5x spending bonus this month, or when you have a $20 discount at a specific store, so that you always maximize your return on every purchase. Earning 5x vs 1x points on every purchase adds up to a lot of free points (and cash back!) very quickly. * You'll receive automatic reminders before any of the recurring monthly/annual credits on your cards expire, and you can track their usage completely in the app. * Add and track Amex, Chase, and other offers, so you'll never let a good one expire again thanks to automatic reminders and integration throughout the app. * By using the Chrome or Safari extension, you can bulk-activate Amex and Chase offers and sync them to your account to save you a lot of time, and while you're shopping on the web, any time you are on a site which has an offer which you've activated or have a special bonus for on your credit card, you'll see a small banner at the bottom letting you know which card to use to maximize your savings. * All of the apps are built natively and are first-class citizens on each platform, including support for Siri, shortcuts, widgets, Watch complications, geofenced notifications, extensions, etc -- it's never been easier to maximize your rewards with so little effort. I first launched the app as a Progressive Web App (PWA) before building the iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch versions which debuted alongside iOS 13 and watchOS 6. Shortly thereafter I launched on the Mac, then I built a standalone Chrome extension followed by the Safari extension thanks to added support in iOS 15. And earlier this month, I launched an Android version on Google Play, all powered by the same API, and the same user account (and purchase) will work seamlessly across every platform. The app offers a lot of features for free, as well as a Pro tier via in-app purchase which adds features like the shopping bar in the extension, location reminders, offer alerts, tracking credits, inline offers, and much more. To celebrate the Product Hunt launch of CardPointers v3 and the Android version, I've discounted the Pro upgrade by 40% for today, and I'd love to hear about how the app has helped you earn more points or save you money. Special thank you to @chrismessina for hunting the app and mentioning it on his podcast the other day, and thank you to the hundreds of thousands of users who have used and supported the app -- I've got a lot left on the roadmap and I couldn't be more excited to continue on this journey with all of you. Have a great 2022!

Really enjoy the app! Especially since I am someone who’s always skeptical/ hesitant to use a credit card it really showed me a whole new side/ advantages of them! Highly recommend

Been a user of this app on iOS for years and have gotten to know Emmanuel very well over Twitter and email during that time. He is one of the most thoughtful and dedicated indie devs I’ve ever seen who truly pours 100% he can into his craft. Whether it is implementing awesome new features with user privacy in mind or taking user feedback and bug reports with vigor, it is obvious that he is in it for the long haul. This is a must-have app for any person who has a decent number of credit cards or anyone who appreciates solid mobile app design and function.

Great app! Has really given me credit card super powers, no way I could track all this on my own.
