Overview
MaxRewards provides a mobile app that links multiple credit cards to show a single dashboard of rewards, balances, bills, and credit scores. It uses a card-recommendation engine to suggest the best card for each purchase to maximize rewards and can automatically activate offers and quarterly bonus deals across issuers like Chase, American Express, and Citi. It uses a freemium model where basic features are free and MaxRewards Gold unlocks automation, deal tracking, and priority support, and it does not sell user data. The goal is to simplify credit-card loyalty programs and help users maximize rewards and benefits, with plans to expand to include more payment types in the future.
