Built something for Indian credit card users after getting frustrated with scattered reward info, hidden exclusions, MCC traps, and milestone confusion.
Hi everyone,
I’ve been working on a project called CardSaathi after personally struggling to track:
- reward exclusions
- MCC traps
- milestone spends
- lounge eligibility
- best card for different categories
Most websites only compare cards superficially, so I wanted to build something more practical for Indian users.
Current features:
• Compare Indian credit cards
• Reward & cashback tracking
• MCC exclusion guide
• Annual fee waiver tracking
• Lounge access info
• Forex markup comparison
• Reward structure database
• Expense optimization planning
Already added data for 40+ Indian cards across:
HDFC, SBI, Axis, ICICI, IDFC FIRST, Amex, RBL, AU, HSBC, etc.
Planned features:
• Automatic spend optimization
• SMS/email statement parsing
• Reward devaluation alerts
• Portfolio analysis dashboard
• Smart “which card should I use?” engine
Would genuinely appreciate feedback from this community:
- What features would make this genuinely useful?
- Biggest pain points while managing multiple cards?
- Which cards/data should I prioritize next?
- Any UI/UX suggestions?
Built by a non-tech founder learning everything from scratch, so all feedback is welcome 😄
