Credit card offer sync and activation
Sync and activate credit card offers
Quick answer: RewardSensei’s browser extensions sync supported Amex, Chase, Citi, and Bank of America offers for Free. With Pro, you can activate supported offers individually, in eligible batches, or automatically. You choose whether to turn on automatic activation, which requires an active bank-site session.
An offer may sit three screens deep in an issuer account and still require activation before the purchase. Once you sign in on a supported issuer’s website, the extension can sync available offers to your RewardSensei account.
Availability: Offer sync is available for supported issuers on the Free plan. Individual, eligible bulk, and opt-in automatic activation require Pro and remain subject to issuer eligibility, an active session, and terms. Automatic activation is off by default.Current distribution: The web app is generally available; Chrome, Firefox, and Edge extensions are live; Safari is available on Mac (macOS 13.3 or later); Android is available on Google Play; the iPhone app is awaiting store approval.

Optional automatic activation
Pro users can enable an off-by-default setting for Amex, Chase, Citi, and Bank of America. It can activate eligible offers while you remain signed in on the bank website.

Offer sync and activation FAQ
Which issuers support offer activation?
The extensions support Pro individual, eligible bulk, and optional automatic activation for Amex, Chase, Citi, and Bank of America offers. Automatic activation is off by default and requires a supported bank-page sync, an active issuer session, and eligible unactivated offers. Availability still varies by issuer, account, and offer.
Can RewardSensei activate offers automatically?
Yes. A Pro user can explicitly enable automatic activation for Amex, Chase, Citi, and Bank of America. The setting is off by default and requires an active bank-site session. Capital One is not supported for in-extension activation.
Does RewardSensei store bank passwords?
No. Sign in on your bank’s website. RewardSensei uses your active browser session and does not ask for or store your bank username or password.
Will every offer activate successfully?
Activation can fail if the bank declines it, your sign-in expires, the offer is no longer eligible, or your account reaches an offer limit. Check important offers in the bank dashboard before spending.
Is offer activation included on the Free plan?
No. Offer sync and viewing stay available on the Free plan. All in-extension offer activation requires Pro.
Does activating an offer mean the savings are guaranteed?
No. You still must meet the issuer’s merchant, spend, date, and payment terms. Activation makes an offer available; it does not guarantee redemption.
