With multiple credit card, sign up bonuses to meet and points to keep track of it can be overwhelming to keep straight. We are going to tell you our favorite ways to keep it all organized and straight!

How to Stay Organized

Today we are going to introduce you our favorite way to stay organized when it comes to all the tracking involved with credit card points and miles.

There’s a lot to keep track of! From when Sign Up Bonus must be met, when the next annual fee posts, where you are on your 5/24 rule and more.

This is the reason we adore Travel Freely, which can be used on desktop or in an app. It will completely change how you keep your credit cards organized. Say goodbye to the spreadsheets and notes!

What is Travel Freely?

It is a free app or website that you can download and it will help automate your credit card organization.

Whenever you open a credit card you will input the date you open it then Travel Freely will track so many things!

  • Sign Up Bonus – It will automatically track how much time you have to meet a minimum spending requirement to earn your welcome bonus.
  • 5/24 Status – It will track your Chase 5/24 so you don’t have too. This is super handy, plus it will tell you when your cards fall of that number too. Remember Chase will deny you credit cards if you’ve opened five or more credit cards in the last 24 months from any bank.
  • Annual Fees – Another great this is that it will alert 45 days before your annual fee is due on each card. This gives you time to decide if you want to keep that card or cancel it.
  • Length since Application – This app or webspite even tracks how long it’s been since you’ve applied for a new card. Remember we recommend waiting 90 days between opening credit cards, but for sure 30 days between applications.
  • Tracks P2 – It even will let you track your player 2 and their accounts! So handy when you are playing with two players so you know where each person is.

Travel Freely does not require you to put in your usernames and passwords so it does NOT have any of your sensitive information. You just need to enter what type of credit card you opened and the date for it to track.

Ok, this just might be my favorite thing ever in the app, well there’s a lot I like but this is so helpful.

There is a tool called the CardGenie and it will recommend exactly what card to open next. This is for all of you that are super nervous to start, get overwhelmed, want the easy button etc. It does it for you!

It will take into account the cards that you have (make sure you input all of them when you sign up!), bank rules and restrictions, cards in your history, if you want business cards etc. Then it makes suggestions for card that it knows you are eligible for. Since there’s so many rules and regulations to know this makes it so easy because you don’t have to memorize them all!

Is Travel Freely Free?

Yes! It’s completely free to use.

You just need to sign up, create an account and you are good to go. You will receive a few occasional emails through their email list with tips, tricks and alerts of new welcome bonus offers on credit cards but it’s not to many.

Does Travel Freely Track Points & Miles Balances?

No it does not do this because it does not require you to share you login information for your cards so it has no way to track it.
