Set Up CardCurator in 5 Minutes
Here's how to go from a blank account to a fully configured wallet that tracks your rewards and alerts you to opportunities.
What you'll need
- The names of your credit cards (no account numbers needed)
- Your current points balances — visible in your card's app or website
- About 5 minutes
Step-by-step setup
1
Create your account
Free, email only — no credit card required.
- Go to cardcurator.ai/signup
- Enter your email and create a password (or sign in with Google)
- You'll land on the new user setup wizard
2
Add your credit cards
This is where CardCurator learns your wallet.
- Go to My Cards in the dashboard sidebar
- Click "Add Card" and search for your card by name (e.g. "Chase Sapphire Preferred")
- Set the date you got the card — this helps track signup bonus deadlines
- Repeat for each card you have
Privacy note: You only enter the card name. No account numbers, no card numbers, no bank login. Your financial data never leaves your device.
