What is Kudos?

Learn how Kudos automatically finds your best credit card for every purchase, unlocks hidden perks, and helps you earn up to $750 more per year. Free forever, with optional Premium features that put your finances on autopilot.

Kudos is an app that automatically selects your highest-earning credit card for every purchase at 2+ million merchants. Stop guessing which card to use — Kudos shows you exactly which one maximizes rewards and unlocks perks you didn't even know existed.

Why Kudos?

Maximize rewards

  • Always use the card with the highest earnings potential

  • Boost rewards at 15,000+ participating partner merchants. That means earning rewards on top of your card rewards

  • Unlock hidden perks (the average user forgets $624/year in card benefits)

  • Earn up to $750 more per year just by using Kudos

Simplify your wallet

Get personalized guidance

  • Dream Wallet: personalized card recommendations based on the spending you enter

  • Test Drive: see what you'd earn on a card before you apply, based on the spending you enter

  • Check your Approval Odds before you apply for a new card

  • Insights flag opportunities to save across your finances

  • Identify cards that don't justify their annual fees

  • Compare auto insurance rates (average savings: $800/year)

Kudos Premium personalizes these recommendations automatically using the transaction data from your connected accounts.
