Rewards Calculator Algorithm
You can either estimate rewards by inputting your spending habits manually or creating secure bank connections through our trusted financial partner mx.com and letting Finly analyze your spending in the past year.
Finly factors in all the reward limits and fine prints of every single credit card so you can be sure your results are as accurate as possible.
Note: The bank connections are not perfect, meaning that occasionally the connection may fail. This happens when the MX bank connector is unable to establish the link, which is beyond our control. If this occurs, please feel free to inform us and use the manual method as an alternative.
