Which gift card works here?
You are at the checkout counter with four gift cards from work. One of them is accepted here — but which? By the time you have checked three websites, the queue has grown and you have paid full price with your own card. Again.
MyGiftCards answers that in about two seconds. Type part of the shop's name and it shows which of your cards is accepted there, how much is left, and when it expires — naming the merchant that matched, so you can see it understood you.
Your cards are stored on your phone and are not uploaded anywhere. The full policy is here: MyGiftCards privacy policy.
This is the app's data source, not a marketing site. It publishes the merchant lists that every install reads, refreshed weekly by a GitHub Actions workflow. Phones fetch the small manifest first and re-download a list only when its hash has changed.
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
manifest.json |
sha256 and size of every published file — the thing phones poll |
catalog.json |
Card types, aliases, and where each list is fetched from |
stores/<card-type>.json |
One merchant list per card type |
The app is open source: github.com/naveh92/MyCards.
MyGiftCards היא אפליקציית אנדרואיד שעונה תוך שניות על השאלה "איזה מכרטיסי המתנה שלי מתקבל בחנות הזו?". מקלידים חלק משם החנות ורואים איזה כרטיס מתקבל שם, כמה נשאר בו ומתי פג תוקפו. הכרטיסים נשמרים במכשיר בלבד, ללא חשבון וללא מעקב.
