CardPointers is ready for Augmented Reality (AR), with a new, immersive way to know what card to use at a store just by pointing your camera at it! From the For You screen, you can choose a new AR setting in the Best Card Pointers section. And there's even a new App Shortcut (just ask Siri, "CardPointers in AR"), as well as a lock screen widget to take you right into the experience. I hope you'll love this new feature as much as I have while building it, it's so quick and easy that it feels like magic. (v4.6.3 squashes a few bugs around the new AR experience and an edge-case login issue)

# Location, location, location It's now easier than ever to know which card to use when you're at a store with the new Nearby option in the For You, Pointers, and Best Card Wizard screens. Tap on the Current Location button to instantly show the stores closest to you without having to type at all. But don't worry, your location data never leaves your device -- everything is processed locally using Apple Maps -- just another one of the ways that CardPointers helps you earn more from your cards while protecting your privacy. There's also a fix to the app's shortcuts menu, which now lists your top 3 favorite pointers (thanks for the heads up, Anthony!) And finally, the 4.5.2 release adds a way to refresh the list of locations across all pertinent views via the location button icon.

There was a bug caused by a recent OS update which could cause various bugs such as screens popping automatically on iPad and Mac -- this update squashes that bug entirely. Big thanks to Mustafa for helping resolve this issue live from the Deep Dish Swift conference. Bonus improvement: accent colors are now used throughout the Mac app.
I've got a big new update in the works, but this one is a small bug fix update for an issue which could affect some Chase cardholders using the auto-add feature when they've done a product change in the last 90 days. I know, that's very specific, but I *hate* bugs and want to squash all of them for y'all.
To help everyone get the most out of CardPointers, I've added tip cards to the top of the For You screen so you can discover some of the more advanced features. You can close them one-by-one, or long-tap on that section and hide all of them at once if you're already a Pro. This update also includes a number of bug fixes: * Changes to an approval date could cause the screen to pop back on iPad and Ventura. * Remove duplicate cards and offers affecting some users. * Include cards designated for Authorized Users when auto-adding Amex Offers. * Fix for hiding domains in the extension and removing hidden domains. * Miscellaneous bug fixes.

This is another big update featuring the most-requested features from users (thank you for your feedback, please keep it coming -- this app is made to help you after all!) * Pro users can now favorite offers (just tap the Star icon, or swipe right from the Offers list), filter offers by just your favorites, and customize the For You screen to only show expiring offers which are favorites. * All-new filtering system for offers which automatically saves your last choices, and you can now sort by newest offers. * Huge update to the Safari Extension which comes with the app, you can now see ALL of your added offers right on the web, jump right to those sites where you have offers, and of course the new favoriting system has been integrated into this new feature, too. * If you have any Amex or Chase cards, you'll *definitely* want to use the extension, as it can auto-add all of your offers for you automatically when you log in on those sites without any work (and most importantly, without putting your accounts at risk as no bank logins are used at all). There's also a new feature when using the Offers Modal, just tap on "All Cards" and you can see all of the offers you have available across all of your cards, and add just the ones you want, while also enabling you to add offers across all eligible cards at once. * The extension also adds a few new customization options: auto-hide Shopping Pointers after a period of time, long-tap the X button to close it immediately, badge the icon when you have offers on a site, and more -- tweak to your heart's delight. * For Pro users, a new option to only show upcoming card renewals when they have annual fees in the For You screen. * Share any of your added offers with your friends via the "..." button in the Offer Details screen. * The Find All Cards shortcut now includes the list of Features to enable you to build even more powerful shortcuts (h/t Colin). Thanks again for using and supporting the app, and I hope you'll love all of the work that's gone into this big update! - Emmanuel
CardPointers 4.1 adds on top of the big 4.0 release from last month, with some really awesome new features: * While shopping, checking which card to use will start a "shopping trip" and help make sure you use the right card when you check out -- either in another app via the reminder in the Dynamic Island (iPhone 14 Pro required), or right on your lock screen through the Live Activity. You can customize this behavior and how long you want it to appear on screen in Settings. * The Safari Extension has a new superpower: you can now auto-add every available Amex and Chase offer you have across all of your cards, as soon as you log in. If you prefer full control, you can still use the auto-open functionality to help you search, sort, and filter through all of your offers to add just the ones you want in a fraction of the time it would take to add each one manually -- now you'll save even more time and money thanks to CardPointers Pro. * Support for Stage Manager with great drag-and-drop support. * Automatic App Shortcuts so that without any setup work, you can ask Siri, “CardPointers for Starbucks”, or any other store, and you’ll know in an instant which card to use when checking out. You don’t even need to open the app — but when you do, you can then ask Siri, “What can I do here?” to learn about even more shortcuts like your account summary, quick access to search, and so much more. * Lock Screen Widgets to track any of your offers to help you save money, and quick access to any category or store to know which card to use there, without having to even unlock your phone. * Focus Filters can be configured to filter all of your cards to show just business cards when in Work mode, or create a new Travel mode and hide all cards with foreign fees to avoid any bad 3% surprises. Mix and match any of the filters to work the way you do. * Shared with You support right on the For You page in a new shelf so that you can see any Amex or Chase Offers friends share with you front and center. * Passkeys replace passwords by default in CardPointers 4 on iOS 16, so you can use your device to log back into your account, from anywhere, for even better security. * The Dashboard has been replaced with a fully customizable For You page to help you see at a glance your card/offer summer, Chase 5/24 status, the last pointers you looked at, how many offers you’ve redeemed on each of your cards before your renewal date to make sure you’re getting enough value out of your annual fees, and much more. * Best Card Wizard will tell you instantly your best card and offer at any store, with support for thousands of merchants, and you can even add your local store in just a few taps. * Pointers can now be organized in the new Favorites section, with access to thousands of new ones accessible via search bar at the top. * Apple Watch app updated to use new widget-style complications to match your iPhone, and new support for stepper controls and text input to track how much you've used of your offers. * And of course months of work with tweaks and fixes to all parts of the app to make it shine on ever new OS update. * v4.1.1 restores Focus Filters and App Shortcuts after a bug in v4.1

This update fixes an issue which has affected a small amount of users which would cause a user's cards, offers, and pointers to appear to be duplicated. If you're still seeing any duplication in the app, please sign out, log back in with this update, and everything should work as expected now. Really sorry for the trouble with this one, it was a really hard bug to track down. Thanks so much for using the app, and I hope you have a great summer! I'm already hard at work on the next big version to be released this Fall and I'm so excited about the new ways to help you earn more from your credit cards.
New features: * You can now add Apple Wallet passes for your top 3 pointer categories, or any individual category, right into Apple Wallet with an automatically updating pass. Whenever you pay with Apple Pay, you'll immediately see which card to use for every purchase to maximize your rewards/savings, without having to open any other app! This works great in combination with the double-tap side button shortcut for Apple Pay. * Location Reminders are now more prevalent in Pointers categories, and there's a new shortcut to Add to Apple Wallet here, too. * You can now filter by only business cards when looking for a card recommendation by category or welcome bonus. Bug fixes: * Adding Amex Offers stopped working for some users, but should now be fixed. * Chase Offers will now use the correct expiration date, regardless of timezone. * Setting an approval date to today could cause an issue where the change would not persist. * Redeeming offers via the top preview should now work as expected. I hope you love the new features and bug fixes, and get to put all of those saved points and cash back to good use this summer!

This update adds a few new features: * Safari Extension now supports Canadian Amex Offers, allows you to show Shopping Pointers only for offers, card bonuses, or both (thanks for the idea, Chris Hutchins!), and a few bug fixes. * Improved Learn More page which is now broken into sections with some new great resources. And fixes a specific edge case bug: * Some users who purchased Lifetime had an incorrect expiration date listed in the CardPointers Pro screen Thank you for using & supporting the app, this is the best job I've ever had and it's all thanks to great users like you!
This update is all about helping you better use your Amex & Chase offers: * All users now get a 7-day free trial to all of the Safari Extension's features, the best way to save money as you shop online just by using your best card. * You can now add already-enrolled Amex & Chase offers to any of your cards at any time, so it's easy to sync everything back to your account. * New subscription management options with your current renewal status/date in the CardPointers Pro section of the app's settings. * Miscellaneous bug fixes and improvements -- thank you for your feedback in reporting any issues!
Happy new year! This update is all about a number of smaller tweaks and edge case bug fixes, including: * More reliably restore purchases when logging in via a different mechanism. * Added new links to the Learn More section. * Allow all offers to be viewed on Apple Watch and prevent an edge case crash. * Some sheets could get stuck and not be dismissed. * Some rows had a white background in the rounded corners in light mode. Thank you so much for using the app, and I'm excited about the year ahead with a number of great features on the roadmap!
This update is all about performance -- and boy does the app fly now! A whole lot of features were added with CardPointers v3, but that ended up causing some serious performance issues and bugs for users who took full advantage of how easy it is now to add hundreds of Amex and Chase offers in just a few taps. To address those issues, and make sure the platform is in a great place for adding many more planned features, the entire data architecture was rewritten. All of your old data will be migrated within a few seconds, and you shouldn't notice any differences at all, other than everything being basically instantaneous. This was a *huge* undertaking, and it's possible I missed a few edge cases, so if you run into any issues at all, please use the Send Feedback button within the app's Settings screen to let me know. P.S. Fun fact, today is 1,000 days since the app was first launched on the web! Thank you so much for using & supporting the app over these last few years. v3.1.1 has a last-minute bugfix for iPad users related to sorting in the sidebar.

CardPointers 3 is the biggest update yet, and helps you save even more money in several new ways: * Location Reminders allow you to save the location of your favorite stores, then the app will automatically notify you when you're next there, with the details of your best card. * Smart Lists can be set up to notify you as soon as new offers become available on Amex, Chase, Citi, and Bank of America, so that you can add it to your card before anyone else. * Safari Extension can be activated and then notify you on every e-commerce site which of your cards you should use, and also lets you know about any credits or offers you have available. * The Safari Extension has another superpower -- activate it on the Chase or American Express website, and you can activate every offer available with just one tap, and sync them to your CardPointers account, where they'll be incorporated throughout the app (including the shopping part of the Safari Extension!) Additionally, the app has now been expanded beyond the United States, and supports every country in the world. Many banks and cards have already been added to other countries, and even more will be added in the future. And if the app doesn't yet have one of your cards, you can now add it directly in the app yourself and fully customize it. If English isn't your primary language, you're covered there, too -- CardPointers has learned French, Spanish, and German this year, with more languages planned later this year. Here is a detailed list of just some of the new features, designed exclusively for iOS/iPadOS 15 and watchOS 8: Safari Web Extension: * Synchronized with the user’s app data to show them the best of their credit cards to use at checkout across thousands of different sites based on rewards categories and offers, and users can classify other sites themselves * Bulk-activate Amex and Chase Offers and sync them to your account * Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac Apple Watch: * Region-based user notifications (to notify the user which card to use at their regular supermarket, gas station, etc, without having to open the app) * New complication families using beautiful hierarchical SF Symbols * Updated layout integrating search and swipe gestures and a new Settings screen * New title bar design throughout * Works independently of the iOS app, but keeps everything in sync for those who have both iPhone/iPad: * Region-based user notifications like the ones in the new Watch app + integrated map view to manage saved locations and add new ones in a flash * Smart Lists to be notified whenever new Amex, Chase, and other offers become available which match criteria of your choosing * Hierarchical SF Symbols * Support for Quick Note * Pull-to-refresh * Swipe gestures * Improved search * Icons added to notification actions * Integrate new blur materials throughout * More inline menus * Improved Handoff support across all devices * New extra large widget on iPad * Improved keyboard support All apps: * Added support and set up cards & banks for Canada, Germany, UK, Australia, and India, with full support for every other country already built in to the app via the ability to add custom cards and banks * Localized in French, German, and Spanish to expand the app internationally, with more languages planned in the future -- v3.0.5 fixes an issue with Sign in with Apple and now automatically logs you in on all devices, adds support for Apple Watch Series 7 (including a new Expiring Offers complication), and fixes a few bugs for good measure.
