Stop losing money to fees.
A premium card is a bet: pay the fee up front, earn it back in credits. The issuer writes the terms, and the terms are designed to be missed. Credits that do nothing until you enroll. Monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and anniversary clocks that never line up. The same benefit sold to you twice on two cards. Miss a window and the money is gone — the fee isn't.
- 61%of this wallet's credits are worth nothing until someone opts in — $3,429, card by card, every year.
- 135separate windows a year across three cards. Twelve of them close every month.
- 8benefits paid for twice. Hotel, dining, Uber, Global Entry — one card covers it, the other is along for the ride.
Credit card benefits are a headache. Not anymore.
Lost Perks puts every credit, window and card for the whole household on one system — so the fee is a prepayment you actually get back, not a cost you forgot to collect on. The four promises below are shown on this wallet:
