Get Deal Alerts
My favorite way to find cheap flights and award deals—think Europe under $400 or surprise points alerts.
Organize Your Budget
I use Monarch to manage our personal + business finances all in one place. It connects to our bank accounts and lets us plan for goals like vacations or big purchases.
Track Your Cards
My go-to for tracking which cards I’ve opened, when I’m eligible again, and keeping tabs on 5/24. I recommend it to every beginner who wants to stay organized while earning points.- plus, its free!

Points + Money Tools
Set Hotel Alerts
Set alerts for popular hotels and get notified when rooms open up within your points budget—even with dynamic pricing hotel chains. It’s how I snag high-demand stays for fewer points.
Earn Cashback
The easiest way to earn extra points or cashback just by clicking one extra button when you shop online. I always check Rakuten before booking flights, hotels, or even ordering groceries.

This app tells you which credit card to use for every purchase to maximize rewards—plus it tracks benefits, credits, and spending deadlines.
