Have you ever been at checkout, ready to earn some serious points, only to realize later that you used the wrong credit card and left bonus points on the table? Or even worse, have you ever found out after the fact that you had an American Express or Chase offer that could have saved you money? Ouch. Us too! 

That’s exactly why CardPointers exists. It’s an easy-to-use tool that helps you maximize every purchase, ensuring you never miss out on free travel rewards, cash back, or exclusive bank offers.

And now, with a new app update, it’s smarter and even more helpful than ever. Let’s dive into why CardPointers should be in every points-and-miles traveler’s toolkit, and what’s new in this latest update.

 

What Is CardPointers? (And Why You Need It)

It can feel overwhelming sometimes to keep track of all the different rewards, how to earn them, and when they expire. Was the extra five points per dollar spent for grocery store purchases last quarter, or was it this quarter? CardPointers solves that problem by automatically telling you which card to use for every purchase and tracking your American Express, Chase, Capital One, and Citi offers, so you won’t have to worry about which card to use to maximize your rewards.

Here’s what it does:

• Shows the best card to use at checkout (online & in-store)
• Tracks limited-time offers (AmEx Offers, Chase Offers, etc.)
• Automatically syncs new credit card bonuses and perks
• Saves an average user $750+ per year in rewards and statement credits

Basically, it’s like having a personal points-earning assistant that ensures you’re always getting the best deal without doing any math or spreadsheets. 

 

The CardPointers Update

Here are some of the major updates that will help you maximize your rewards:

• Groups Feature: See all your offers grouped by card, so it’s easier to spot overlapping deals and double-dip savings.

• Instant Offer Syncing: Offers sync instantly when you open the app after auto-adding them via the CardPointers extension.

• In-App Filters & Profiles: Manage multiple card profiles (yours, Player 2’s, even family members’ profiles) and filter by card type (business, no foreign-transaction fees, etc.).

• Bulk-Edit Offers:  If you’ve got tons of bank offers, you can now filter, redeem, snooze, or delete them all at once.

• Card Selector in Offers Tab:  Want to see offers for just one card? Now you can, without losing sorting and filtering options.

 

These updates make CardPointers faster, smarter, and easier to use, so you can focus on earning free travel without wasting time tracking offers manually.

 

Real-Life Example: How CardPointers Could Save You $$$

Say you’re grabbing lunch at your favorite café when you remember you have a Chase Offer for 10% back at restaurants. You pull out your Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card thinking it’s the best option.

But before you tap your card, you do a quick check in CardPointers—and surprise! Your American Express® Gold Card not only has the same 10% statement credit offer but also earns 4x points on dining instead of 3x with Chase.

By switching cards, you save money on the spot and earn more points—without doing any extra work. If you hadn’t checked, you would’ve left easy savings and extra points on the table.

Lesson learned: A ten-second check in CardPointers can turn an everyday purchase into extra cash and points.

 

Why You Should Use CardPointers

If you love free travel and want to earn more points with zero extra effort, then CardPointers is a no-brainer. With the new app features, it’s easier than ever to track all your credit-card perks, maximize points and cash back, catch valuable bank offers, and—I think this is the most important part—not have to keep all of this straight in your head every time you make a purchase!
