01 What it is

A tracker for the credits that come with premium credit cards. It shows which credits you have used, which are still open, which you missed, and whether the card is beating its annual fee.

02 The problem

Premium cards come with credits that reset monthly, quarterly, or twice a year. An unused monthly credit closes on the last day of the month and is gone.

03 How it works

The wallet works with no account, so it can be opened and used straight away. Signing in adds one thing: the same cards and marks on the phone and on the web.

Each marked credit is stored as its own database row. Marks made on two devices merge, and neither device overwrites the other.

04 What it does

  1. 01

    Built-in card list

    You pick your cards from a list and each card’s credits are filled in for you. Every figure can be edited, and a card that is not on the list can be entered by hand.

  2. 02

    Mark a credit as used

    Each credit shows the period it covers and how many days are left before it closes. Ticking it records it as used.

  3. 03

    Captured, open, and missed

    For each card the app totals the credits you have used this year, the ones still open, and the ones that closed unused.

  4. 04

    Does the card pay for itself

    A bar shows how far the credits you have used go toward covering the card’s annual fee, and how much more is needed.

  5. 05

    Month and year views

    The month view lists what is open now. The year view shows every period of every credit, so you can see the whole year at once.

  6. 06

    Phone and web

    The wallet works with no account. Signing in keeps the same cards and marks on the phone and on the web.
