In my 14 years as a smart phone user, I never wrote a review for any app. This is my first time, sums up how good MaxRewards is. I’m a gold member and I open the app at-least 5 times a day to check which card to use at what vendor. I’ve been referring and promoting it to all my friends.I really hope someone from the MaxRewards team reads this!! Although the app is revolutionary and helping me alot. I believe some more useful features can be added. I would love to see: 1. A vendor search bar on the ‘Best card to use’ page, so that I can easily enter nike, Adidas or whatever to check any offers on my card or which card to use. (I know I can click on near-me and it list the shops & vendor near me, I just want to search for shops that aren’t near me) 2. Since the app already shows the credit scores, integrate some sort of recommended credit cards offers page (something like Credit Karma). Example if Chase or Amex is giving promotional offers for more points, lemme know in the app or if I’m spending too much on dining recommend me a card with more/better dining perks. 3. Some more in-depth useful stats like my interest rate on different cards. My projected interest if I don’t pay in full or the interest I paid last month, my statement start & close date. I know it’s asking a lot but I do believe adding these features overtime would make the app more useful. Kudos to the team & developers!!

I started using MaxRewards about a year and a half ago. I really liked the app in the beginning as I mostly used it as a way to easily manage all my cashback rewards for my credit cards. While the app did not completely eliminate having to go to all my other credit card apps for rewards information, it did provide a nice overlook… especially to see all my transactions in one place. The app has always had connection issues, but they would usually be fixed within a week or two. However, for the last several months connection to Chase has been near impossible. Considering I just signed up for a year subscription two months ago, it’s been very frustrating. So I was excited to get an email about the new updated version that just dropped. Ninos to say I have buyers remorse, and will be canceling the subscription. to begin with I like the look of the old version much better, but that’s just an opinion I’m sure I can get used to it. However, the connection issues are now worse than they were before with three of my cards refusing to connect. One of my cards has requested that I change my password twice because of the connection issues. i’m not even able to enjoy or appreciate the new features as my data is incomplete due to connection issues, So I’m done, the app is more of a hassle then a convenience, and I feel like I wasted my money.

This app is amazing and I feel like everyone that has multiple credit cards through different issuers should use this app. My favorite card is my citi custom cash it gives 5% cash back each statement on your highest spend category up to $500 spent.. so as someone who buys a lot of gas. I use it at gas stations. My complaint is that the Max rewards app didn’t seem to understand how the custom cash works, but it should understand because the citi custom cash is a card a lot of people carry and use the same way I do. On the “best card” tab my custom cash doesn’t show up for gas stations, even though I only use the card to buy gas. Instead it shows my Costco card which gets 4% at gas stations. Please fix this issue. Another suggestion would be to show each cards “remaining” statement balance for people like me who don’t pay interest on cards. I say remaining because my girlfriend shares my discover card with me as an authorized user and we each pay for our own things on it so it would be nice to see the “remaining” statement balance right on the main screen. It is not hard for me to figure out but that is a suggestion from me.

After using this app for a while I gave up on it since it does not serve its purpose. I have only 4 credit cards loaded on the app and even then the app can’t make distinction from an AMEX Platinum or and AMEX Gold. Suggesting I use my DISCOVER card with a 1% cashback on travel (airfare, hotels etc..) instead pf my AMEX Platinum. Obviously I know about this benefit already but what about people that don’t and are trying to min/max the most they can to get the most out of their cards? I thought that was the entire purpose of the app. It won’t even let me register my other card, a MilitaryStar Card even though it lets me add the card as an available option but no option to link the account. Suggesting I use one card for groceries when it is in fact more beneficial to use a different one. All these issues while constantly begging me to subscribe for the month? I will pass. The idea of the app is good, maybe they will make it better once they trap more people into their subscription.
