Cardpointers App Review 2025: Maximize your credit card rewards

If you only use a few credit cards, it is easy to remember the best to use and when.

But if you have more than a few, they can be a challenge. Since card benefits are constantly added and removed, change with limited time promotions, keeping track of what is best is even more difficult. Almost impossible.

But there is a tool that can help solve that problem.

The ones I like best are cardpointers.

What are cardpointers?

Cardpointers is an app and browser extension that can help you optimize your credit card spending, so that you maximize their value. It will help you keep rewards and bonuses, so that you always use the best offers. It also helps you to keep advantages that can be limited on a monthly or annual basis, so that you do not have to remember yourself.

For example, I have reimbursed a Southwest Rapid Rewards card that has reimbursed four improved boardings every year. I know I have used two and have two left, but with cardpointers I can keep it up, so that I don’t have to remember anything. I also have $ 75 in Southwest Credit to use every year – something that I definitely want to spend because it is free money.

That’s just one card. There are many benefits of all the other cards that I have.

Before I enter the weeds about the functions, the prices here.

• For free, Cardpointers offers a small subset of their functions so that you can see what it can do – add a card, limiting the use of use, but costs nothing. You can see how it can help without paying.
• Cardpointers+ is only $ 6 per month, or $ 72 a year, and you can follow all your credit cards, all your expenses and which card to use, and a whole series of functions that I will share below.

⭐ First check what cardpointers can do and then we have one special offer (or click on that link to jump down and see) below for the best wallet readers.

How to set up cardpointers

The first step is to go to cardpointers.com and download the app for your device. They support Apple, Android, Chrome and Firefox.

After you have opened your app, add all the credit cards you use. You do not have to know your credit card numbers, only the name of the card – such as Chase Freedom, American Express Gold, etc.

Cardpointers keeps track of the cashback schemes, bonuses, cashback limites and other details for you. They don’t have to know your actual credit card number and you never have to log in to your bank. They support more than 5,000 cards in the United States and Canada.

📅 A nice function is that you can record the date on which your card was approved, so that it can follow when the annual fee is due. This allows you to call for a storage offer or cancel the card.

I thought following monthly limits smart. You must follow this manually because they do not include your specific card information:

Tabs -Tabblad: Always know the best card to use

After you have added all your cards, the POINTERS section shows you the best card to use in which category:

No more guessing which card is best.

If you are familiar with cardpointers who know where you are, you can use Autopilot and it will recommend which card to use on your locking screen (you can switch it on and off) based on where you stand. If you are in a goal, this will recommend the best card for target. You can switch Autopilot on and off from the app, so that you do not constantly mess with your settings to turn them on and off.

If you want to see something very cool, “Pointers in AR” is a function that uses the camera and scans the store to tell you which card to use. Seems a bit exaggerated, but it’s cool.

Offers tab: displays all limited time offers

The offers tab is great because it will follow all those special offers and you can update the limits directly on the screen:

I find it very difficult to remember it, especially the smaller ones such as $ 10 here or there. We use Instacart and Doordash on an irregular basis, I just don’t care enough to look for which card offers a credit of $ 10, especially when I’m away from home or busy. But I am willing to open the app and find out in five seconds, it is as if you lean forward to pick up a bill of $ 10 – I do it.

But offers are even better when you use the browser extension.

Chrome/Safari extension: activates offers

My favorite function is their browser extension (Chrome and Safari) called Cardpointers X. It will “activate” all those special offers that you see in your account. They support American Express, Chase, Bank of America and Citi.

For example, did you know that Chase gives you $ 250 for a limited time if you spend $ 1,000 or more on Tonal. If you dropped a biggest one, would you not want to know and, more importantly, activate this offer before your purchase?

To be honest, I would be furious if I had made a purchase and missed $ 250 because I did not ‘activate’ this offer.

The extension of Cardpointers will simply engage all offers for you.

And now you can see that they all have green checks:

I don’t see why you don’t want cardpointers to activate them all, but if you want to do it manually or choose it, you can also do that:

Once you have all the added offers, you can go back to the offers tab to see them all. You can search, use the Autopilot tool and automatically know which card to use to take advantage of these offers, even the limited time.

Finally, when you visit websites, there is a small pop-up at the bottom of the page that tells you which of your cards is the best IS-Hier it is shown on Southwest.com:

Special offer: 30% discount

We have collaborated with cardpointers to get a 30% discount on the regular price. You can receive the annual subscription for just $ 50 (instead of $ 72) after a free trial period of 7 days.

If you want to buy a Lifetime subscription, that is only $ 168 plus they give you a free $ 100 savings card that you can use with one of them partners (I would treat that if you can use it). Even the lifelong $ 168 subscription is just over two years of reimbursements.

Summary

I do not juggle with half a dozen credit cards, we only use three on a daily basis (and even then, usually two), but now that I have cardpointers, I will add my cards to see if I leave some money on the table.

The biggest draw for me with cardpointers was the browser extension. I know that my Chase and American Express cards have these special offers (hundreds), but I am not interested in scanning page after page with offers on the chance that I might see something that I can use. Moreover, I do not like the idea of ​​an offer that encourages me to spend, I prefer to let that dictate and get the pleasant surprise of a discount.

For $ 72 a year I can ensure that every offer is added and before large purchases, I will double cardpointers to ensure that I do not miss an offer or favorable cashback offer.
