Featured by Money Magazine and Kiplinger's as a smart way to save.
Wallaby will tell you: which card to use to maximize rewards, minimize interest charges, maximize cash flow, or, our favorite, a smart combination of the above. Just launch the app to see the right card for online and offline shopping. We don't need your credit card number.
Wallaby includes Ambient Alerts. This optional feature will send you a local notification when you're shopping at a supermarket or eating a restaurant, giving you a friendly reminder of which card to use. Please note, Ambient Alerts requires background GPS services. Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. Ambient Alerts is optional and can be turned on and off in the Settings screen.
Wallaby will keep track of everything with our all-new Spend Monitor. We'll alert you to changes in your spending activity in total, in a single card, or in a single category. If there is anything suspicious going on, we'll let you know, too.
If you're trying to maximize rewards, we'll also tell you where we think you used the wrong card (yes, fans, with the details now!). Disagree? Let us know. Category wrong on a merchant? Change it!
Wallaby also includes a Watch app, so you can earn more rewards right from your wrist. Our Watch App is a Top 20 Apple Watch App according to MacLife!
How does Wallaby work?
You just tell Wallaby the type of Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express credit cards you carry. When you shop, in a store or online, we’ll show you which card to use. It’s that simple! Wallaby is powered by CardBase®, our comprehensive database of more than 3,200 credit card profiles and more than 100 dimensions per card. We can help you see what features and benefits your cards have at a glance.
Wallaby is completely secure: There's no need for your credit card numbers and we are PCI Level 1 Compliant. Just relax and know that you are getting the most from every purchase and making the best choices.

Almost great

So one huge idea!!! It would be awesome if I could just use Apple Pay and this app would be able to pick the right card. Any chance this is going to happen?
Can’t add the same card twice
Xmikey22
I have several cards I have multiple of but I can’t add the same card twice in wallaby. Prime example is cash+ from us bank. I have different categories on each card but can’t add two of them like I could before.
Awards not accurate
MonsterCatMewMew
Revision: the rotating rewards did update after several days into the month they changed, however despite emailing several times with inaccuracy with one of my cards they have not updated it. It’s only as good as the info it provides. Too bad because I really want to depend on it. Note: I’ve now sent message from the app about the inaccuracy of the card details 4 times. Nothing and it’s still wrong.
Great Potential

This app has great potential and really excites me but seems to have a lot of bugs right now. Menus such as "best card for what categories" will disappear from sight after briefly showing on the screen. This is common throughout the app but if that was fixed and a few more banks added to the app I can see this being amazingly helpful
Great, but missing one important piece
TeddyMP
The app's all about maximizing the value of your cards, which means it should also tell you the most efficient way to pay them down. I hope that's coming some time in the future, because it's in everyone's best interest.
One of the best apps on my phone.

I’ve been using this app for a while now and find it invaluable. If you have multiple credit cards and want to maximize cash back opportunities, this app is a must!! The development team continues to update the app and it gets better each time. They are extremely responsive and fix problems pronto. Very impressive. I can’t recommend this app enough.
Nice app, poor implementation
cdurham90
This app is a great concept, and I'd give 5 stars for app design and fluidity. Unfortunately, it fails at its primary goal...rewards recommendations. For example, under "online shopping", choosing the retailer Best Buy reveals my best option is a card that earns 1.5% cashback. However, it completely ignores the fact that another actually gets 5% cashback at Best Buy when shopping online. If I were spending over $1000 on a TV and used that recommendation, I'd miss out on a lot in rewards.
Citi bank credit card won't link
HercyChang
I am a citi Presitige card user, I was't able to added even after answering those challenge security question. It keep showing fix it for my citi account
Perfect!

This app makes selecting cards easy. However, it's extremely difficult to rearrange the order of cards - when you want to move a card up or down multiple places from app, most of time it will directly jump to head of card list. Plus when checking on any card, when return to card list it always jump to head of list rather than staying at where I was previously. I've emailed support multiple times and it is not solved for more than a year...
Good app, but bank linking issues
iKswiss
Tried linking my USAA card with USAA bank but each time I tried to put in the four digit PIN I get an error. It's the correct PIN but the error implies that nothing has been entered.
