How it works

Three things running while you're not looking.

Hardcoded math over your wallet. No model touches the ledger.

01 — Reset clocks

Four clocks, one countdown.

Most trackers file every credit under "annual" and move on. Maxbase carries the real reset period for each one, so a $10 credit with twelve days left doesn't read like one with three hundred.

Monthly · quarterly · semi-annual · annual · one-time
02 — The receipt

Proof the fee paid for itself.

Mark a credit used and it lands in your year-to-date. Cross a milestone and Max texts you the number — with a share card that carries the total and none of your card data.

Captured value, counted per card
03 — Card Coach

"Which card for this?"

Ten spend categories ranked against the cards you actually carry. Coach reads every multiplier in your wallet and names the winner, with the runners-up underneath.

The thread

Max texts you. You can text back.

Most weeks you only need the first one.

Passive · he starts it

It escalates, then stops.

The scan fires at 9am in your timezone, not the server's. One credit gets four messages in its life, then nothing — whether or not you acted.

Reloaded7 days3 daysLast day
Max · 9:04 AMScanning
Good morning, Aaron. $275 in unclaimed credits expire in 3 days.
Expiring soon:
• $200 airline fee credit — Platinum
• $50 Resy — Gold
• $25 DoorDash — Reserve
  • Never twice. Logged per card, per period, per tier.
  • Never at 11pm. A missed morning is recovered same-day, then dropped.
  • Silence is a decision. Signals go quiet on stale data. The scan can suppress a message; it can't invent one.
Active · you start it

Reply, and it does the thing.

Seven words go through a fixed parser with no model near them. Anything else you type is answered from your own figures.

  • It reads; it doesn't spend. Marking a credit used comes back as a question you answer YES to.
  • It fails quiet. No language layer, no error — just the plain command reply.
Deterministic ledger

The language layer writes sentences. It never computes a balance.

Grounded answers

It narrates a snapshot of your numbers. It can't invent a figure it wasn't given.

Gated writes

State changes are proposed, never executed. The confirmation is code, not the model.

iMessage + push

Web push if the thread can't reach you. STOP ends it, from any message.

Pay & budget

A budget that knows what you get paid.

Grade, years in service, duty station. Maxbase pulls the 2026 pay tables and your BAH rate, takes out the LES lines, and lands on what actually hits your account.

E-5 · 6 yrs · with dependentsSeptember
JulAugSepOct
Base pay$4,110
BAH · San Antonio, TX$1,935

Federal tax (FITW) est−$287
State tax (SITW) · TX$0
TSP · 5%−$206
SGLI · $500K−$30
Net to your account$0

2026 DFAS basic pay and BAH. FITW is a single-filer estimate until you confirm it against your LES.

BAH rate protection

A falling rate shouldn't cut your pay.

When a locality's BAH drops, members already there keep last year's rate. Maxbase carries both and uses the higher one, same as DFAS.

TSP pace guard

Front-load the TSP, forfeit the match.

Hit the $24,500 limit in August and contributions stop — so does the 4% match, for every pay period left. Maxbase runs that arithmetic before it costs you.

Month rollover

The month closes itself.

The ledger snapshots into history and resets. Come back after three months away and it fills in the ones you missed.

36 categories

Sorted the way you shop.

Duty boots and running shoes aren't the same aisle. Eleven groups across thirty-six categories — two taps, not one long alphabetical list.

Source-linked

Every claim points at its operator.

Check any percentage yourself in one tap. The exact wording is kept, so "up to 30%" never becomes "30%".

Re-checked on a cycle

Stale offers get retired.

The catalog is swept on a schedule. Drifted percentages are corrected, dead offers pulled. Nothing ships without a live source.

Built for the military wallet

The benefits are real. The afternoon to find them isn't.

SCRA caps your interest at 6%. MLA waives the annual fee. There's a clothing allowance most members never claim and a legal way to stop paying state income tax.

Each one is a different agency, a different form, and an evening of reading. Nobody does that between a duty day and a PCS. Maxbase does the reading and hands you the number.

27 field notes, each sourced to a .gov page
  • The SCRA 6% interest rate cap — what it actually forgives, and what it doesn't
  • The clothing allowances most service members never claim
  • How service members legally stop paying state income tax
  • The EITC election that most military tax software gets wrong

Fees shown are the published 2026 annual fees carried in the Maxbase card library. Waiver treatment follows each issuer's own SCRA / MLA policy — confirm your eligibility and enrollment with the issuer directly. Maxbase does not provide financial or legal advice.

Who it's for

Built for people with a duty day.

Active duty

Best card position there is. Least time to work it.

Three premium cards, every fee waived, and no realistic way to audit three credit calendars from a field problem.

Milspouse

You're the one running the household budget.

BAH moves with the PCS and the in-processing discount list is two years stale. The ledger and the catalog are built for whoever does that math.

Guard, reserve, veteran

The waiver ended. The credits didn't.

Reset clocks never stop, and most retail discounts still cover veterans. Maxbase says plainly whether a card still earns its fee.

Pricing

One card free, forever. The rest when it's worth it.

Free until January. After that, less for a year than one missed credit.
