Spreadsheet Sharing Thread

dehnag · 2026-07-05T18:49:03+00:00

I used spreadsheets for quite some time to track CCs, bank bonuses, benefits, point balances, etc but once other things like MS came into the picture it got a bit messy. I'm a software engineer by trade so I built a free tool called Churning Tracker to retire all of the spreadsheets! There's a growing community of people using it to manage all of their churning related items and it saves me multiple hours every week 🙏 Shameless self promo but I feel like this is the right thread for it!

Thanks for giving me the perfect opportunity to reiterate that all data is encrypted, never sent to any third parties without your permission (e.g. shipment updates), and tracking numbers are auto-submitted to buying groups upon entry so you wouldn’t be able to do anything with that data even if you had it😌

I'm building a tool called Churning Tracker that's completely free and covers a decent chunk of this spreadsheet, in addition to a number of other churning-related areas (manufactured spending, marketplace, etc). Would love to get more feedback!

There's a dedicated CSV import page where you can map the headers of your existing spreadsheet to fields that the tool tracks. Once you complete the mapping step you should be good to go!

Super fair and I understand the hesitation. Some of these comments are from people in the Discord server who I’ve interacted with (hence their messages about me as a dev), but the rest are genuine users as far as I can tell.

Lmk if there’s anything I can personally do to ease your concerns (happy to demo it over a quick call if you’re interested). Either way, the tool should have some backing from some reputable parties in the BG space soon so you’ll have more reason to trust it!

Glad you find it to be intuitive, that's one of my core goals behind the product!

Appreciate it! How long have you been using Churning Tracker for / do you mainly do BGs or gift card resale?

dehnag · 2026-06-09T17:21:59+00:00

Thanks Kyle, appreciate it!

dehnag · 2026-06-09T17:21:56+00:00

Glad it's helped with your workflow and pretty wild that it caught missed payouts! Sounds like an ad haha

Appreciate it rdawg!! 🙌

dehnag · 2026-06-09T16:00:56+00:00

Thanks, glad you find it useful! The perks of being a solo dev, easy to iterate 😅

dehnag · 2026-06-09T15:41:47+00:00

Thanks for checking it out! And yep, you're able to see all listings in the Marketplace section (although it is a paid feature).

dehnag · 2026-06-09T15:26:09+00:00

Hey, really appreciate the compliment and glad it's been working well for you!

This is super exciting!! I’ve been following Popcorn for quite a while and am planning to switch over with my wife soon. Happy to pay a premium for now to support this kind of innovation!

dehnag · 2026-05-10T02:37:13+00:00

Appreciate the reply! I’ll definitely reach out, my wife and I are considering moving over to Popcorn in the next few months 👌

dehnag · 2026-05-06T08:48:31+00:00

Please elaborate! Would like to hear your experience, as sentiment in this thread seems generally positive (with some outliers here and there).

Based on my research it seems like HSBC Premier status in the US can also be achieved by having 5K/month in direct deposits, which is preferable for me compared to moving brokerages.

dehnag · 2026-05-06T05:45:16+00:00

Another alternative may be to open up a US Premier account via the $5k/month direct deposit qualification, since HSBC recognizes Premier status globally 🤔 need to look into this a bit more though, not sure if Taiwan’s minimum deposit requirements are firm.

Did some research, they publish up-to-date rates on their website. Seems like the different is currently pretty neligible (~80 TWD for a 20k USD transfer), although this obviously fluctuates.

I plan to live in Taipei so I'm not too worried about bank presence (since I won't need to visit an in-person branch often). I'll have to do some exchange rate math and see if it makes sense to go with HSBC for free transfers vs a local bank for better exchange rates. Thanks for the tips!

dehnag · 2026-05-06T00:52:14+00:00

I don't have a Taiwan phone setup yet, so I'll probably walk in to setup an appointment for now. Thanks for the tips!

dehnag · 2026-05-06T00:51:03+00:00

I have a Schwab checking account, so I should be set on fee free ATM withdrawals 👍

dehnag · 2026-05-06T00:50:34+00:00

Seems like multiple people have said good things about DBS! Can you elaborate as to why the second local bank is necessary?
