CardsPal Mobile App Lets You Check Your Credit Cards’ Cashback & Nearby Deals
In the era of cashless payments, we probably know friends or an SO who owns more than 1 credit card. If you don’t, chances are, you’re that person.
And it’s easy to understand why, because other than cashback and seamless payments during shopping sprees, we could also get free gifts like AirPods Pro and Samsonite luggage.
But after signing up for the 3rd or 4th card, we’d eventually find ourselves saddled with the ultimate first world problem — forgetting to keep track and making the most of these rewards.
That’s how CardsPal seeks to change the game for those of us who wield an arsenal of plastic cash.
It is a nifty mobile app that unearths a treasure trove of deals and cashback options with just a few swipes.
You no longer have to scratch your head trying to remember all the perks that come with your credit cards and risk losing out if you can’t — CardsPal does it all for you.
CardsPal compiles cashback & deals for all credit cards
With your wallet packed to the brim with credit cards, you’d probably need an Excel spreadsheet or a handwritten list to keep track of all their advantages — and that’s only if you’re diligent enough.
And if you’re not, you’d probably end up forgetting about them.
Remember those random moments of realisation when you had gone on a shopping spree, only to find out you could’ve earned more cashback on 1 card than the other? Yep, that sucks.
CardsPal aims to be the one-stop companion of your shiny plastics, as you can easily consolidate your cards – both credit and debit – so that you always know which cards get the most cashback or reward.

Then, depending on your location, you can uncover a plethora of deals from shops in the vicinity and eligible cards.
So if you’re in Orchard one day with a group of friends, you can check out deals near you based on the cards you own — perhaps this would help you decide better on where to eat with the gang.
Just remember to toggle the ‘Show deals for me’ function.
With everything neatly compiled in an accessible format, you don’t have to fret about looking at a spreadsheet you haven’t updated in aeons.
Cashback Calculator is your personal finance assistant
Building a home with your SO is a long-term investment. That’s when you’ll have to part with a huge amount of moolah to secure multiple big-ticket items like furniture and electronic devices.
But that’s the whole point of getting credit cards in the first place, so you can get rebates in return to cushion the blow.
Enter CardsPal’s latest feature, the Cashback Calculator, which tells you the approximate amount you’ll get in return for the whopping total you are about to spend.

There is no one best card for all purchases — every card caters to every lifestyle differently. CardsPal helps by recommending the right card for each purchase, so you can reap the rewards you signed up for.
Getting to manage all your cards – including loyalty cards like PAssion and SAFRA – on the app is a plus too, as it’s easier to keep track of.

Spend wisely & prudently
With an array of cashback and deals at your fingertips, you can continue to shop and dine out, knowing that some of that hard-earned money will return to you.
But having more credit cards doesn’t mean you can spend more than you can afford, especially during such times of economic uncertainty.
So remember to track your finances well. That way, you can still reward yourself by scoring the best deals too, and gain even while spending.
