Hi AFF,

Long-time
points enthusiast, first-time builder. I got frustrated constantly guessing which card to tap at checkout, so I built a small web app to solve it.

What
it does:
You
add your cards, enter a spend amount and category (groceries, dining, fuel, travel, etc.), and it tells you which card earns the most points and exactly why factoring in category bonuses, tiered earn rates, and international spend multipliers.

Cards
supported so far:
-
Westpac Altitude Platinum & Black (Altitude Rewards, Qantas, Velocity variants)
-
ANZ Rewards Black & Frequent Flyer Black
-
Amex Explorer
-
NAB Qantas Rewards Signature
-
CBA Premium Awards

Example:
If you have the Westpac Altitude Black (Qantas) and ANZ Frequent Flyer Black, and you're spending $200 at Woolworths it'll tell you the
Westpac
card wins (0.8 pts/$1 vs 1 pt/$1... actually ANZ wins that one, which is exactly the kind of thing I kept getting wrong manually).

It's
free, no ads, no affiliate links.
Very
early only a handful of cards, no mobile app, rough edges.

This community knows more about earn rates and card mechanics than anyone. I'd genuinely love to know:
-
Which cards are missing that you'd want to see?
-
Is the earn rate data accurate? (Please call it out if not)
-
Does the optimizer output make sense to you?

Thanks
in advance for any feedback
