What is the Benefits Tracker?

Learn how the Kudos Benefits Tracker automatically tracks your credit card credits and perks, what each credit status means, and how to see what you've used and what's about to expire.

The Benefits Tracker is your credit card benefits and perks manager, built to make sure you never leave money on the table. The average cardholder leaves $300 in unused benefits on the table every year. The Benefits Tracker fixes that.

šŸ•µļø Automatic Benefit Detection

Kudos automatically scans and identifies benefits across your linked cards, surfacing perks you may not have known you had, from free shipping to complimentary checked luggage to statement credits. When you make a purchase at a store with a card or benefit, Kudos detects and registers the redemption automatically, as long as you've connected your accounts and there is a clear monetary mapping. This includes statement credits for memberships you pay for with your card, like CLEAR Plus.

Some credits land in a merchant's app instead of on your card, like Uber Cash on the Amex Platinum. Kudos can't see these directly, so it tracks them as assumed credits and asks you to confirm them.

The manual toggle isn't just a fallback for detection delays. Some benefits are manual by design. Complimentary memberships and in-app promos you get through the provider (like a complimentary DashPass membership, DoorDash promos, or Apple TV) aren't tied to a purchase Kudos can match to your card, so they can't be detected automatically. For these, activate the perk with the provider first, then come back and toggle it as redeemed in Kudos yourself so your tracker stays accurate.

The same benefit can be tracked differently on different cards. If you're not sure whether a specific benefit tracks automatically, needs your confirmation, or needs a manual toggle, open that benefit's detail page to see which type it is. Learn how Kudos tracks each type.

  • Redeemed: Kudos found a matching purchase, and you got the credit.

  • Missed: The period ended, and the credit wasn't used or couldn't be tracked.

  • Assumed: Your spending suggests you used the credit, but Kudos needs you to confirm it. Learn more about assumed credits.
