Apps and Rewards Tools to Level Up Your Game & Save Time

Maxrewards is an app that tracks bonus spending categories, offers and promos and your rewards balances for all of your credit card rewards programs.

I absolutely love MaxRewards for checking Amex offers because I have so many Amex cards it’s huge timesaver and easily worth the annual fee for the Gold version if you have a lot of cards that require you to manually add offers. Maxrewards has a premium membership option which allows you to automatically activate Amex Offers, Chase Offers and the like with other credit card programs. I signed up for a yearly Gold membership, if you sign up using my referral code BougieMiles – we’ll both get a free month of Gold.

Uthrive is an app based tool that offers personalized advice based on a user’s spending habits and lets consumers know the best card to use on purchases including alerting you to missed opportunities for both cash back and travel rewards based on your transactions. Uthrive also now offers advice on business credit cards which is very helpful for anyone with a small business. Even more impressive is that Uthrive is free to use so there’s really no reason not to try it out.

Award Wallet

Award Wallet has been a staple for me since I started with credit card rewards and it has so many features that I couldn’t live without – like the ability to add loyalty accounts for multiple members of my household for thousands of programs and automatically add travel plans from my accounts as soon as the plans are made. I’ve had an Award Wallet Plus account since 2017 and I will always have one. You can use my referral link for a free upgrade.
