First finds

Card 12 of 12: Oct 19, first find.

Real finds from my own bots, in my own words. FOUND means a bot spotted it. COMMITTED means I've started acting on it. Nothing here counts as saved until it's done, so there are no totals.

  • FOUND: Streaming bill on the wrong card. Had a streaming credit on my card I never turned on. The bill was on a different card the whole time. A bot caught it.
  • COMMITTED: A card perk, checked before the purchase. Turns out my card covers part of a ring I was already going to buy. Sizing kit first so I don't screw it up.
  • FOUND: Fast-food loyalty and card check. Told the bots to look at what I spend on Chick-fil-A and Chipotle. Turns out the points and the card I pay with both matter more than I thought.
  • FOUND: Card-benefits sweep. I've got cards with perks I've never even looked at. Having the bots go through every card and every bill now. I'll tell you what turns up.
  • FOUND: Insurance sweep. Never once read my insurance renewal before paying it. Bots are going through it now, looking for discounts I should already be getting.

The bots research and suggest. I'm the one who taps, enrolls and buys, or doesn't.
