Your Card
Benefits Tracker

Claude can turn one prompt into a live checklist that saves your progress. I use it to track every perk on every card, so the credits stop expiring on me.

If you carry a card with an annual fee and you aren’t tracking the credits, you’re probably losing hundreds of dollars a year. Most of them are monthly or quarterly, and they expire quietly because nobody keeps a list.

Claude artifacts fix that. An artifact is a small working app Claude builds right in the chat. On Pro, Max, Ultra, Team and Enterprise plans it can save data between visits, and it can share that data with other people, so you and your partner check off the same list.

The Fastest Way

Open the tracker I already built. Make a new space, add your cards, and start checking things off. It takes about two minutes.

  1. Start a space. You get a short code. Your cards and check-offs live under that code.
  2. Share the code with your partner. They join the same space from their own Claude account and you both see every check-off. Anyone with the code can see and edit it, so keep it between you two.
  3. Want it to work differently? Click Copy on the artifact, paste it into a new chat and tell Claude what to change. Your version is separate from mine.
Or Build Your Own

Paste this into a new Claude chat and swap in your own cards at the bottom. It spells out the details that break these apps, like slow storage on the phone app, so your first version actually works.

Tracker Prompt
Build me a **credit card benefits tracker** as a single React artifact. The goal: my partner and I have a lot of cards and keep forgetting which recurring benefits we've actually used. I want a beautiful, easy checklist we can both check off from our own phones. ## Core features 1. **Add unlimited cards.** Track each physical card separately (3 of the same card = 3 independent checklists). When adding, let me pick from the built-in templates below, set a quantity to add several at once, or add a fully custom card. Cards are editable and deletable. 2. **Benefits with real reset cadences.** Each benefit has a name, annual dollar value, a note, and a cadence: monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, annual, or "perk" (info only, no checkbox). Give the right number of checkboxes per cadence ($10/month credit = 12 boxes, semi-annual = 2 boxes). Highlight the current period so we know what's live, and show a "used X/N" counter per benefit. 3. **Two views via a segmented control:** - **To-Do (default):** one iOS-Reminders-style list of everything that can be checked off right now, across every card. Each row shows a tap-to-check circle, the benefit, the card, the period, and the dollar amount. Checked items move to a "Done this period" group that shows who checked it and when. - **All Cards:** each card as a row that expands into its full punch-card grid of benefits and periods. 4. **Reset dates.** Per card, let me choose "resets on" Calendar year (Jan 1) or Card anniversary (a date I enter). Annual benefits anchor to that date and show "renews [date]". Cards missing a date show a gentle "set reset date" nudge. Monthly, quarterly and semi-annual credits stay on the calendar. 5. **ROI stats.** A dark "metal card" panel at the top: **Available to claim now** (big number), captured this year, total annual potential, total annual fees, and net (captured minus fees), with a progress bar. 6. **AI benefit research.** When adding a custom card, include a "Research benefits with AI" button that calls Claude from inside the artifact (no API key needed) and asks for ONLY a JSON array of recurring credits `[{name, value, cadence, note}]` for that card, then fills the editable benefit list. Label AI results "verify with your issuer." 7. **Sharing via "spaces."** On first open, the user creates a new space (generate a short random code) or joins one with a code. Namespace ALL data to that code so each space is isolated. Partners join the same code to sync. Anyone else who opens it creates their own space with a fresh copy of the card templates. Include a Share panel with the code, a copy button and instructions, plus a "switch space" option. Tell users that anyone with the code can see and edit that space. ## Technical requirements (these prevent real bugs) - **Persist with the artifact storage API (`window.storage`)**, NOT localStorage. Space data (cards, check-offs) uses shared storage keyed by the space code. The active space code and the user's name use personal (not shared) storage. - **Never block first render on storage.** Render instantly with seeded in-memory data and load from storage in the background. Wrap every storage read in try/catch AND race it against a ~1.5s timeout so a slow storage bridge can't hang the app (this is what breaks it on the mobile app). - **Use ONLY core Tailwind utility classes**, no arbitrary values like `text-[15px]`, `bg-black/40` or `max-h-[90vh]`, because the artifact has no Tailwind compiler. Use inline `style` for exact values. - Mobile-friendly: large tap targets, responsive layout, bottom-sheet modals on small screens. - Use `lucide-react` for icons. Default-export the component. ## Design Apple-like and premium: soft layered gray gradient background, white rounded-2xl cells like an iOS grouped list, a graphite gradient hero panel, a neutral palette with one accent color per issuer, generous spacing, subtle shadows. Clean, not busy. ## Pre-load these card templates (Amounts checked against issuer pages in November 2026. Card terms change, so show a small "verify with your issuer" note.) - **Amex Business Platinum** ($895/yr, calendar reset): Hotel Credit $600 (semi-annual, $300 per half, prepaid Fine Hotels + Resorts or The Hotel Collection via Amex Travel), Indeed $360 (quarterly, $90), Hilton $200 (quarterly, $50), Wireless $120 (monthly, $10), Airline Fee $200 (annual, one chosen airline, incidentals only), CLEAR Plus $219 (annual), ChatGPT Business $300 (annual), Adobe $250 (annual, after $600+ Adobe spend), Dell $150 (annual, plus $1,000 more after $5,000+ Dell spend). Perks: Global Entry ($120) or TSA PreCheck (up to $85) every 4 years, cell phone protection, ZO membership. - **Amex Business Gold** ($375/yr, calendar reset): Flexible Business Credit $240 (monthly, $20 at Grubhub, office supply stores and UPS.com shipments), Walmart+ $155 (monthly, up to $12.95), ChatGPT Business $300 (annual), Squarespace $150 (annual). Perk: cell phone protection. - **Chase Ink Business Preferred** ($95/yr, anniversary reset): perks only: cell phone protection, no foreign transaction fees, 5x on Lyft through Sep 30, 2027, complimentary DashPass. - **Chase Ink Business Premier** ($195/yr, anniversary reset): perks only: 5% cash back on Lyft through Sep 30, 2027, cell phone protection, no foreign transaction fees. - **Capital One Spark Cash Plus** ($150/yr, anniversary reset): Annual Fee Refund $150 (annual, refunded in any year you spend $150,000+). Perks: 5% cash back on hotels, vacation rentals and rental cars booked through Capital One Business Travel, no foreign transaction fees. Make it production-quality and ready to use.

Good To Know

I checked the card amounts against each issuer’s page in November 2026, but perks change every year. Confirm amounts, enrollment rules and reset dates on your issuer’s benefits page before you count on them.
