Travel Freely review

Completely free, connects to nothing, and does welcome-bonus and 5/24 tracking precisely.

Card terms last verified against issuer pages on 2026-09-20.

The short answer

Travel Freely does one job and charges nothing for it: open and close dates, minimum-spend deadlines, annual fee anniversaries, and an automatic Chase 5/24 count. There is no paid tier at all — it is funded by card referral commissions, which is worth knowing when you read its card recommendations.

What it does well

  • Free, with no upsell and no paid tier waiting behind a feature.
  • Computes Chase 5/24 automatically rather than making you count.
  • Connects to nothing, so the credential question does not arise.
  • Tracks a partner's cards alongside yours at no extra cost.

Where it loses

  • Tracks no credits and no balances, by design. It is not a substitute for a benefit tracker.
  • Funded by card referral commissions, so treat its card recommendations the way you would any affiliate-funded recommendation.
  • The mobile apps lag the website; the site is where the product really lives.
  • US issuer rules only.

Verdict

If you apply for cards on any kind of schedule, add it. It is free and it overlaps with nothing else here.

Buy it if

Churners, and anyone tracking 5/24 or minimum-spend deadlines.
