CardPointers App Review: How Automation Simplifies Your Points and Miles Strategy

Episode Description

Do you ever forget which credit card to use for a purchase — or worry you’re missing out on bonus points and statement credits? It’s easy to lose track when every card has different categories, offers, and perks.

This episode is part of our Streamline, Stack, and Save mini-series, where we’re exploring tools and strategies that simplify how you earn and redeem your points and miles.

I’m joined by Emmanuel Crouvisier, creator of CardPointers, an app that helps you track your cards, bonus categories, and offers so you never miss a chance to earn or save.

Emmanuel built CardPointers in 2019 to help people get more value from their credit cards without the spreadsheets, post-it notes, or constant mental math. The app automatically identifies which card to use for every purchase, keeps track of Amex, Chase, Citi, and Capital One offers, and helps you make sure your credits don’t expire before you can use them.

We talk about what inspired Emmanuel to create the app, the features that make it powerful — like Autopilot, offer alerts, and Apple integration — and how privacy and security are built in at every step. Emmanuel also shares how CardPointers users save an average of $750 a year and why automation can improve both your points strategy and your relationships by eliminating financial friction.

Whether you manage one card or twenty, this conversation will help you simplify your wallet, maximize your rewards, and make the points game easier to play.
