The CardKeep Blog

Practical guides on gift cards, store credits, and return deadlines — so you never lose value again.

Frequently asked questions

Is CardKeep free to use?

Yes. CardKeep is free for up to 5 gift cards, with a monthly AI advisor query and receipt scans. Pro unlocks unlimited cards, sharing, nearby alerts, automatic reminders, and ad-free use.

What kinds of value can CardKeep track?

Three: gift cards, store credits, and return deadlines. All of them live in one wallet, and your dashboard opens with how much you have available across all three.

How does AI card scanning work?

Snap a photo of your gift card and CardKeep reads the store name, card number, PIN, and balance automatically — no manual typing.

Can I share a gift card with family?

Yes. Pro members can share a card by email; balances and usage sync in real time, and you control who sees the PIN.

Will I be reminded before value expires?

Yes. CardKeep alerts you at 60, 30, 14, and 7 days before a deadline — a gift card expiry, a store credit, or a return window. Premium adds automatic email and calendar reminders.

Is my data secure?

Card numbers and PINs are encrypted at rest. Only you and the people you share with can see your cards.
