Getting started

Your wallet, in five minutes.

No API keys, no spreadsheets. Just add a card or two and Finstracker tells you what's earning, what's expiring, and what you're leaving on the table this month.

1

Make an account

Pick a username, set a password, you're in. No card number, no SSN, no plaid handshake. Finstracker never touches your bank; you tell it which cards you carry, it does the rest.

2

Add the cards you actually use

Hit the catalog and pick from the major issuers (Chase, Amex, Capital One, BoA, Discover, the rest). The moment you add a card, its perks and rotating offers populate automatically. You're not typing in $25 Walmart+ credits one by one.

The Cards section showing several added cards stacked with their issuer, network, and current month's perk progress.
Tip: Don't put in cards you're not actively using. The whole point is to see what your real wallet is doing.
3

Glance at the dashboard

The dashboard answers one question: am I in the green? Total earned, redeemed, annual fees, and net change after fees, all on the same screen. The chart at the bottom tracks point/cash value over time, so you can see whether your strategy is actually working.

Dashboard showing earned, redeemed, annual fees, net change tiles plus a historical value chart trending upward.

Check off perks each month

Most premium cards die from a thousand uncashed $7 credits. Finstracker groups every perk by cadence (monthly, quarterly, annual) and a gauge tells you exactly how much of this month's value you've actually used.

Perks & Credits view with a usage gauge, totals, and the monthly perks list including Digital Entertainment, Walmart+, Uber Cash, and Disney Bundle credits.
Tip: Hit the Sync to Calendar button on this page once and your perks show up in Google Calendar with reminders on the last day of each period.
5

Save the offers you'll actually use

Amex Offers, Chase Offers, BoA Deals. They pile up and expire silently. Finstracker pulls them into one searchable list per card, with a "Best bang for your buck" row up top so the ones with real ROI don't get buried under the 2% candle-shop coupons.

Offers page with category filters, totals, and a featured offers row showing Alaska Airlines, Amazon, and Restaurants quarterly bonuses.
6

Log spend (or don't)

Every earn and redeem lands in the transaction log so the dashboard chart has something to chart. You can punch transactions in by hand, but most people just let the weekly reconciliation roll in from the catalog and edit anything that looks off.

Transaction History list with filters for date, card, type, unit, and amount, plus recent reconciliation and weekly spend entries.
Pro move: Install the Chrome extension and Finstracker will suggest the right card at checkout based on the merchant and your active offers.

That's the whole product.

Once you've added a couple of cards, the rest is just remembering to glance at it once a week.
