Seeking a rewards credit card that will email me my balance daily

July 23, 2015 8:38 AM

I'm looking for a rewards credit card that will email me my balance--not just my purchases--daily. My current card will email me all my purchases as part of its fraud alert service, but I still have to log in to check my balance. Do you have or know of a card that will email me my balance? I'm pretty sure I had one like 15 years ago, but I don't remember what bank it was with.

You could try using the app mint, and you can check all your balances daily without a login! I think they may have an email function as well.

Best answer: AmEx Platinum will send you a daily or weekly "account snapshot" (if you want it) that shows your statement balance, recent payments/charges/credits, outstanding balance, and payment due date. Not sure if the other AmEx cards have this option.

Mint does have email summaries that include balances, but they're only monthly or weekly, not daily.

(I'm a Mint user and very happy with the service, and I open up the app daily to check on my spending and balances, if such a thing is acceptable - is there a reason you want an email vs an app on demand?)

Best answer: Chase will let you setup a daily alert with your balance. (to do so, you have to set an alert for when you balance exceeds a certain $ amount, but you can just set it to $1).
