TripTruth

What it does

Most travel card reviews are written to sell you the card. TripTruth does the opposite. Each audit runs the real fee math — what you actually pay vs. what you realistically capture — using a built-in calculator with your spending habits, not best-case assumptions. No sponsored rankings. No affiliate-first scoring. Just: is this card worth it for a real person? Audited so far: Capital One Venture X, Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Amazon Prime Visa, Robinhood Platinum.

TripTruth audits premium cards, travel clubs, and fintech bundles with real-use math, calculator logic, and fine-print discipline before you pay.

See the $269.95 join fee, $135 monthly dues and the $1,889.95 year-one total tested against what the points actually return. Travorium Platinum is not a casual “maybe it saves money” membership. Start with the flagship audit, then compare the two adjacent cases readers use to check card fees, bundle value, and simpler alternatives. Travorium Platinum is not a casual “maybe it saves money” membership. Best for: Members with a real Getaway or World Tour target who can stay active long enough to use 270 monthly points, and who treat the $99.95 partnership as optional rather than required. MWR Life Elite Turbo is cheaper than Travorium Platinum in the two first-year models reviewed here, but…from triptruth.org

  Travel Hacking Toolkit – Points search and trip planning with AIApr 2026 · github.com · ▲95

  I use points and miles for most of my travel. Every booking comes down to the same decision: use points or pay cash? To answer that, you need award availability across multiple programs, cash prices, your current balances, transfer partner ratios, and the math to compare them. I got tired of doing it manually across a dozen tabs. This toolkit teaches Claude Code and OpenCode how to do it. 7 skills (markdown files with API docs and curl examples) and 6 MCP servers (real-time tools the AI calls directly). It searches award flights across 25+ mileage programs (Seats.aero), compares cash prices…

  The Card Caddie2025 · thecardcaddie.com · ▲11

  I’m relatively new to the whole “credit card game” but over the past year I’ve been optimizing my daily spending for points. In August I’m heading to Southeast Asia for a year, and I have all my flights covered using points earned just from everyday spending. Keeping track of all the different rewards categories was confusing, so I built The Card Caddie, a free tool that helps you figure out which credit card to use for each purchase to maximize points and perks. It’s pretty simple right now, but I’d love feedback, ideas, or any suggestions for features that would actually help you. Website:…

  I built a tiny LLM to demystify how language models work▲915

  Built a ~9M param LLM from scratch to understand how they actually work. Vanilla transformer, 60K synthetic conversations, ~130 lines of PyTorch. Trains in 5 min on a free Colab T4. The fish thinks the meaning of life is food. Fork it and swap the personality for your own character.

  I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783

  With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
