Already in on Max Rewards it’s been super helpful to make sure I’m using the right card to max out rewards and also meet bonuses

You shouldn't review who is paying you.

Cardpointers is better imo

If you have more than 5 cards an app like this is essential. It makes tracking all the different categories so much easier.

Does one need to have the gold version to have offers automatically activated?

Does not work well at all.

Uninstalled Forever!

Just use your head instead!

Great content. Just be ware that even if you refer someone, you still have to pay a month to get one free

Does anyone know what dollar general is classified as? Max rewards doesn’t say so.

From an app developer standpoint, this is really cool would love to see how they created this app.

I like the app but not the offers activation because I like to only add offers I’m interested in.

HI CS,

I’m a somewhat long time follower of your channel and enjoy your content. I’m would like to ask you if you could put me in contact with someone at MaxRewards regarding investing in the company,

I have reached out to MacRewards but was hoping to reach out to you to establish a better connection.

I downloaded the app about a year ago but never set things up to use it because I was managing my cards well enough. I think I'll finally give this app a shot to see if I like it or not though.

I have been paying down my credit and got new accounts and today my credit score went from 589 to 609 !

Can you set minimum payments when your balance is already 0 or happens to reach 0, and the reason is to avoid forgetting about the card?

How does Max rewards determine which Amex card it will add a Amex offer to? For example if I have an amex offer for a restaurant and it is available on multiple cards, I obviously want to activate it on my gold due to it's 4x multiplier. Will Mx rewards always pick the best choice?

Appreciate that you did this video, fully showing off the app. I downloaded it a year or so ago, and balked at the security concern. Just looked at the site and it doesn't seem to have improved. I want more transparency or some auditing/certification by a trusted party. Also, your statement that they can't do things to your account, not sure where that comes from. Perhaps they won't, but again that's trust.

What happened to your credit limits? last I remember you were near 80k, now its 45k? did you close some accounts? just curious. I always enjoy your videos (and your honesty)

That's one amazing app. Gutted it's not available in the UK.

Noble Robb May 4, 2021 - 11:50 pm

I find that this app really doesn’t work. Unless you relink it to your Amex account every time you open the app it doesn’t update any of the information.

I could be missing something obvious but I don't understand how MaxRewards arrives at default point value. Why does it consider UR points at 1.25? I have a CSR which the app knows about so I would expect it to default at 1.5. And if it weren't considering what I have in my wallet, shouldn't it be 1.0?

Not sure if MaxRewards Gold is really worth it. $24/mo? As a regular John Q. Public, I don't think I earn that much in cash/points in a single month.

Maxrewards is on the next level. Devs sent free gold to try for free.

Max rewards is ight, but there’s a few things they could improve on though. They got the benefits wrong for my chase card by displaying that travel is worth 1.5% instead of 5. Another thing that could make it better is by automatically accepting rewards instead of showing you the ones available. I still love the app even though I feel like It could use some improvement.

I like the app I don't love it is missing pedal credit card and navy federal can't connect to your account so that's why don't give it 4 stars or 5 stars. I'm waiting for more cards to be added before I get gold account.

What good is this app if it does not support all my cards and it has issues setting up other cards, TD bank card NOT supported HSBC cards NOT supported and for some reason Capital one cards cannot be linked due to technical issues
