| Savewise | Maximize Rewards | Visit | — | $70.00 | Great tool to find the best cashback or points deal when shopping and the card offers across your cards. Main Strength: Cashback/deal discovery + shopping optimization Best For: Finding the best portal/deal/cashback stack Savewise has a lifetime deal for $149.00 also. (might be a limited time) Savewise and Cardpointers are a good combo: Savewise finds: best portal best retailer cashback deal opportunity CardPointers tells you: best actual card to pay with whether you have a targeted Amex/Chase offer That combo can create “triple-stack” situations where one purchase earns: portal cashback card multipliers targeted merchant offer | |
| AutoPilot | Travel Savings | Visit | — | $99.99 | The free version will auto adjust your paid tickets for most US airlines and reticket you if teh savings is over $20. They take $5 and pass you on the rest. The paid version will do the same for award tickets. So far it has found one savings opportunity for me but was unable to reticket it for mt on JetBlue. They sent me an email and told me to rebook it myself. I think it was because the savings goes to the JetBlue travel bank so they could not claim their 25%. | |
