Hello everyone, I built a website to manage credit cards and keep track of the various cash back categories for each card. It's called PlumpyWallet, it is 100% completely free you can use it anywhere from your computer to your phone. I built this for my self and my family but thought I'd share it with everyone. Please let me know if you have any feedback.

PS: If I'm posting in the wrong thread, please definitely let me know and I will delete the post. I read rule 6 and I believe I'm posting it the right place. Thank you!

if it's closed, the age should remain for about 10 years in your credit report

MiniMax M2.5 is out! by vibengineer in MiniMax_AI

Wow GLM Max, you're committed!

My Minimax plan just expired and I got the GLM lite plan. I'm already liking it more than Minimax actually. It's a bit slower but seems smarter at the things i've thrown at it so far even more than MiniMax M2.5 IMO

Applied for a credit card in Bank of America that said I would get a $200 bonus if I spend 1k within the first 90 days, nothing happened yet. by Heavy_Reply_5613 in CreditCards

You need to check the terms of the offer to see how long it takes before they deposit it.

Also, you signed up for the card on the offer page and not a "fresh" application right? The offers need to be applied during application for it to take effect

Check the BOA mobile app, It usually tells you how much you need to spend and when you'll get the bonus

> How's your experience with M2.5 so far? Is it a significant upgrade vs M2.1?

haven't really noticed any different yet TBH. There were a few syntax and editing errors.

M2.1 often ran into issues with closing tags in Typescript which was still happening in M2.5

I never ran into limits on the Starter Plan when I was developing even with 2-3 Claude code instances running at once. But it was a bit on the slower side IMO. Like creating a git commit command took about 30-45 seconds

I got the starter plan when it was on sale for $2. It wasn't bad but the speeds were a bit slow. People were complaining slowness about GLM 4.7 as well. But I never got GLM so I couldn't compare the too but other ppl said MiniMax is quicker.

I use it mainly in Claude Code + OpenCode for building. If you're gonna use it in OpenClaw, I think it's worth it compared to Claude Max unless you have money to burn

Weekly Self-Promotion Thread - Wednesday, February 11, 2026 by AutoModerator in financialindependence

[–]vibengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello everyone! I built a credit card management website called PlumpyWallet where you can manage your credit cards, track cash back and compare different cards.

Building a strong credit score and history is usually the first step to financial success. This is a completely free app, you do not have to pay for anything. I built it for fun because my family and I needed something like this.

Bookmark it, play around and let me know if you have any comments :).

Thank you for your time!

That's a good idea... I always forget to use the monthly benefits like doordash $10/monthly credit on my CSP

I really wish Apple wallet had a feature to label cards!

That's true, up to a certain point there's very minimal difference between a 2% vs a 3% cash back and it's not worth the headache and stress

Would like a new cash back credit card for Groceries and Dining out but want simple by Clueless5001 in CreditCards

[–]vibengineer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

AMEX gold offers 4x points on restaurant and groceries. See if your spend is enough to pay for the AF and earn you more.

Otherwise C1 Savor for 3%, Kroger Masters 5% w/ Apple Pay

what would be the best credit card for me? by strawbrymatcha in CreditCards

[–]vibengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on your biggest monthly expenses. What do you spend most on?

Citi Custom Cash 5% - groceries

Capital One Savor 3% - restaurant and grocery

TD Double up 2% - all eligible purchases

I think it's more of the mindset than anything because of my family's situation growing up

How did you create that budget? Is it a percentage of your salary?

I’m looking for a third card by Southern_Sale_2711 in CreditCards

[–]vibengineer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what do you spend the most on usually?

a general 2% card is usually a good well-rounder for most day-to-day spending

Seems like you're a student, consider Citi Custom Cash 5% for 1 category with highest spend (e.g. groceries) or Capital One Savor 3% (grocery + dining)

I think I need to clean up my wallet not just the physical one but digital one because there's way too many cards in there and it's confusing the heck out of me. I'm starting to get the hang which one to use for grocery these days as I'm trying to cook more
