What We Do

Kard is helping consumers maximize their credit card rewards programs, earning our users hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars a year in extra cashback, miles and rewards. We do this by increasing awareness and adoption rates of merchant specific rewards (i.e. 6% cashback at Nike vs. 2% off on groceries). Card issuers have offered these merchant specific rewards for the last several years, with the ability to help consumers earn significantly more value, but remarkably 75% of consumers have never heard of or used an offer. That is because these rewards are (1) too complicated to keep track of (2) hidden inside your bank's applications and therefore not available when you need them the most, while shopping. Kard solves that problem by notifying users of offers available to them in realtime, while they're shopping, across all of the cards in their wallet.

This also brings value to card issuers as they earn 3-4x their revenue when one of these offers are used when compared to their standard category rewards programs. Therefore, we will always be able to offer a free product to consumers and instead earn our money from our card partners.

Kard is revolutionizing the credit card loyalty market, solving a major problem for consumers and issuers alike, with the ability to take over an already $16 billion industry. We are proudly headquartered in NYC, where we hope to continue to build a worldclass team!
