ChurnLogic

Getting started with ChurnLogic

This is the hands-on walkthrough: what to tap, in what order, and what each part of the app does for you. From a standing start you'll be set up in about ten minutes, and from then on ChurnLogic does the tracking so you don't have to.

In one sentence: ChurnLogic turns the spreadsheet-and-memory approach to credit card rewards into a system that knows your 5/24 status, tells you the single best card to apply for next, and guards every minimum-spend deadline and annual fee so you never leave money on the table.

1

Create your account

Use ChurnLogic on the web at churnlogic.app, or install it from the App Store or Google Play. Sign up with your email (or a one-tap email sign-in link), and pick what you care about: travel points, cashback, or specific loyalty programs. On mobile, you can turn on Face ID or fingerprint lock in Settings.

Why it matters: Your account syncs across web and phone, so you can plan on a big screen and check deadlines on the go. Setting your goals now makes every recommendation personal from day one.

2

Add the cards you already have

This is the most important step. Add each card you currently hold and roughly when you opened it, three ways: Quick Add (pick a card, set the open date), Card Setup (walk your whole wallet at once), or Import Credit Report(upload a PDF and it auto-detects everything). Don't worry if you only remember the month or year, ChurnLogic handles imprecise dates safely.

Why it matters: Your open dates are what drive everything: your 5/24 count, which issuers you're eligible for, and when each slot frees up. Get these in and the whole app comes alive. (Detail: adding cards.)

Read your dashboard

Your home screen leads with four numbers: your 5/24 status(how many personal cards in 24 months, and whether you're at Chase's limit), your open cards, your action items, and your next 5/24 drop date. Below that is the action feed: a prioritized to-do list of what needs attention now.

Why it matters: Instead of a static dashboard you have to interpret, the action feed tells you the next thing to actually do, color-coded by urgency.

4

Get your next-card recommendation

Open Recommendations. The top card is your single best next application, with the reasoning shown; below it is a sortable table of every other card with its bonus, fee, estimated value, and net first-year value. Cards you can't get yet are marked blocked with the exact reason and the date the block clears. When you're ready, tap Apply.

Why it matters: You only ever see cards you're actually eligible for, ranked by real dollar value to you, so you don't waste an application (and a hard inquiry) on a card that would be denied. (Detail: how the engine works.)

5

After you apply, let it track

Once approved, mark the card as opened (or add it). If it has a signup bonus, ChurnLogic creates a spend tracker automatically. Log your spend against it on the Spendscreen and watch the progress bar; as the deadline nears you'll get warnings with the exact dollars and days left. Later, when the annual fee approaches, the app surfaces your keep / downgrade / cancel options.

Why it matters: Missing a minimum-spend deadline by one day forfeits the entire bonus, and forgetting an annual fee can cost hundreds. This is the tracking that actually protects your money. (Detail: what happens after you apply.)

6

Make it a weekly habit

You don't need to open the app daily. Check the action feed once a week, and let notifications tell you when a deadline, fee, or 5/24 slot needs you. The Timeline shows your whole year at a glance so you can plan your next application.
