Orbiq #022 — Card Benefits
 

New in Orbiq

Was that the right
card for this
purchase?

Hi there — Card Benefits & Rewards is live: link your cards, and Orbiq tells you what each purchase actually earned versus what your best other card would have.

Open Credit Cards →

It's on the main sidebar now — no setting to flip, no lab to enable

01 · See what you actually earned

Real vs. best-card, transaction by transaction

Link the cards you already track in Orbiq and every purchase gets checked against a rate catalog — what this card earned on this category, versus the best of your other cards. The gap adds up faster than most people think.

Forward-looking too: a "use this card here" recommendation per merchant category, with your live monthly cap remaining so you're not chasing a bonus rate you've already maxed out.

 

02 · Card not in the catalog?

Type in the rules yourself

Manual card entry adds any card by hand-typing its reward rules — no waiting on an automated lookup. Same validation as the built-in catalog, so your custom card behaves exactly like a linked one everywhere else in the app.

Worth knowing: seeded rates are unverified until hand-checked against the issuer's own page — the UI marks which ones — and this feature is web-only for now, mobile parity is next.
