What MaxRewards does

MaxRewards takes an aggregation approach — connect your bank accounts and it automatically activates card offers and tells you which card earns the most. It's a hands-off tool for people who are comfortable sharing their banking credentials with a third-party app.

Why we built PerkList

PerkList takes the opposite approach. We never ask for your bank login, never see your transactions, and never store financial credentials. You tell us your cards, we show your perks, you check them off. It's more hands-on — and for people who'd rather not hand over their bank access, that tradeoff feels right.
