Stop guessing which credit card to swipe. CardPickr detects where you are and instantly tells you which card in your wallet earns the most cash back or points. HOW IT WORKS Open the app, tap Detect, and CardPickr uses your location to identify the nearest business and recommend your best card — ranked by reward rate. No sign-in, no account, no ads. SMART RANKING CardPickr knows the fine print: Amex grocery bonuses don't apply at Whole Foods or Costco, Amazon Prime Visa earns 5% at Whole Foods, and Capital One Savor excludes superstores.

Toggle what's in your real wallet and you're done.
