APP TO MANAGE CREDIT CARD SPENDING
« on: March 26, 2019, 01:14:26 PM »
There used to be an app called TPG where you would put in all the credit cards you have in your wallet and whenever you want to buy something at any store or website it tells you which credit card to use at that time. It calculated the value of points, miles, bonus categories etc... of every card in your wallet.

That app is now gone and I am looking for another app that will help me maximize all the rewards that my cards offer.
Anyone know of any app?

Thanks in advance!

Have you used this app? I don't see this app does what I need.

I need the app to tell me which card to use when buying something somewhere.

Why do you need an app for that?
Write on the back of the card if you can't remember the bonus categories, but it's not that hard.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hey Dan, thank you for the reply.

Its not just for the bonus categories. I am a beginner and trying to figure out this whole points system and I found that app very helpful. It explained why i should use a specific card and how much i gained and lost if I used the correct or incorrect card. It was also very helpful when i walked into a store I got a notification telling me where I am and which card I should use when Im there.

I think tools like that is very helpful to the beginners. No?

IMO only use as many cards as you can remember before you start not remembering to pay

For managing finances QB works well.

It is advanced form of money management.
Advantages of running a QB style management software is having categorized and classed all expenses and income.
You'll be able to run report's on groceries, clothing  and household items. As well as special expenses such as Yom Tov, weddings. Travel and simchos.


Once you master QB or other software it should not take that long to update.

Not really.
Mint dosnt come close.
Not sure if you're familiar with QB, but mint is definitely not a comparison, for more info search Google.
