When you're shopping online, the Kudos extension automatically detects which merchant you're at and checks if you have any active card-linked offers for that store.
Kudos will:
Show you which of your cards have active offers
Display the offer value (e.g., "10% back up to $20")
Recommend which card maximizes your total return (factoring in the offer + baseline rewards rate)
Remind you if new offers are available and prompt you to refresh
Can I see all my activated offers in one place?
Yes! Kudos provides a Unified Benefits Tracker where you can:
View all activated card-linked offers across your cards
See statement credits you've earned
Track annual card benefits (airline credits, streaming credits, etc.)
Monitor what you've redeemed vs. what's still available
Get alerts before benefits expire
Access your Benefits Tracker in your Kudos dashboard.
Can I stack Card-Linked Offers with Kudos Boost?
Yes! Card-linked offers and Kudos Boost cashback can often be stacked for maximum savings. Here's how it works:
Card-Linked Offer: Applied by your card issuer based on the activated offer
Kudos Boost: Cashback earned through our merchant partnerships
Card rewards: Your baseline rewards rate (1-5% depending on your card)
Example: If you have a 10% Amex offer at Target, 3% Kudos Boost, and your card earns 2% on all purchases, you'd earn 15% total back on that purchase. Kudos automatically calculates the combined return and recommends which card maximizes your total savings.
How does Kudos decide which card to recommend?
Kudos considers multiple factors when recommending a card:
Active card-linked offers at that merchant
Kudos Boost cashback rates
Your card's baseline rewards rate
Category bonuses (e.g., 5% on groceries)
Welcome bonuses you're working toward
Annual benefits you haven't used yet
The recommendation shows you the total return percentage and estimated dollar value for the purchase.
Will I get a notification when I have an active offer?
Yes! When you're shopping at a merchant where you have an activated card-linked offer, Kudos will display a notification in the extension popup showing:
Which card(s) have active offers
The offer details and value
How much you'll earn on your current purchase
