eight

See everything you're entitled to— and everything your people are happy to share.

8 is a register of the discounts, benefits, credits and vouchers already attached to your life: your cards, your bank tier, your job, your memberships, your phone plan. It shows you what you hold, roughly what it's worth, and when it runs out. Deciding and doing stay with you.

Sharedby choice

Made-up entries, real structure. Every line in 8 carries its terms, its expiry and how sure we are — including "we haven't checked this in a while".

The perks are not the problem. Nobody has the picture.

Britain is unusually dense with loyalty schemes, packaged accounts, staff schemes and bundled extras — and unusually bad at seeing them together. Three entries from the national statement:


£3bn

UK shoppers leave an estimated £3 billion a year on the table. Around 27% of loyalty points go unspent, and more than one in ten expire outright — mostly because rewards take too long to earn, points lapse, or the scheme is simply confusing.

Source: Retail Times, on UK loyalty point redemption; corroborated by Loyalty Magazine's unredeemed-rewards estimates.

£1.6bn

Roughly 10 million of the UK's 155 million subscriptions are unwanted, costing consumers about £1.6 billion a year. Not fraud, not overspending — dead money that keeps leaving the account because nobody has the list in front of them.

A dozen apps

Your entitlements live in a bank app, a card app, two supermarket apps, a phone provider's rewards tab, an employer portal you logged into once, a PDF of policy terms, and somebody else's wallet. Spotify next to a phone contract that bundles a music service. Revolut Premium next to a packaged account that already covers travel. The two facts live in two different apps, so the overlap is invisible.

Not a published statistic — it's the pattern that showed up in every audit we ran by hand.

The realistic pot for a median household is nearer £60–£150 a year than the four-figure numbers this category likes to advertise — plus the things they had no idea existed. The second half of that sentence is the interesting one.

The two-minute perks audit

No login · Nothing leaves this page

Seven questions about what you carry, bank with, shop with, pay for and are. At the end you get a list of things you're probably sitting on — with an honest label on every one, because these are possibilities to check, not holdings we've verified.

Step 1 of 7

Three moves, and then it just keeps watching

The audit above is the first two minutes of it. The app is the same idea, kept current.


1

Add what you've got — or snap it, or forward it

Pick your cards, account tier, memberships, phone plan and life status from a list. Photograph a staff card, a voucher or an offer on a noticeboard and 8 reads it into a structured entry. Forward a perks email and it does the same. Anything odd — 20% off at the gym through your football club, member rates at your building society — goes in by hand and behaves like every other record.

2

8 tells you what's in it, and when it runs out

Every entry carries its terms, a link to the exact clause, an expiry date and a confidence state on its face. The money in this category doesn't leak at the till — it leaks at renewal: the insurance date, the benefit-selection window, the Railcard, the voucher, the contract end. Those are perfectly predictable from dates alone, and nobody currently owns that reminder. 8 sends at most two a week, and only when the record is confirmed.

3

Share what you choose with the people close to you

Your partner, your parents, a couple of friends — each on their own account, nothing shared by default. You decide, entitlement by entitlement, what they can see. They get a second column in their register: "Ella's Amex includes two guest lounge passes." "Dad's employer runs a staff discount scheme — here are its terms." Then they have a conversation with a real person.

Most perks are shareable. Almost nobody shares them.

Staff discounts extend to named household members. Memberships carry guest passes. Cards carry companion access. British Airways lets seven people at one address pool their Avios. The reason none of it moves is not selfishness — it's that nobody knows what anyone else is sitting on.

A bubble is small on purpose: partner, parents, a few close friends. It's the one thing an incumbent can't copy, because your bank cannot show you what your mother is entitled to.

Visible, not authorised. Every one of these ends in a conversation with a person, not a button in 8.

What 8 doesn't do

Each of these is a decision, not a gap. They're the reason a registry can be trusted with the knowing.


It never links your accounts

No bank logins, no card credentials, no loyalty passwords, no employer portal sign-in. Not at launch and not later. It costs us live balances — so you type those in, and 8 shows "as of 12 March" next to the figure. Honest and slightly stale beats invented and fresh.

It never activates, cancels or buys

8 will tell you six card offers expire on Friday and open the right screen in the right app. You tap. There is no "✓ cancellation requested" — that's a lie you'd discover on your next statement, and automated activation is exactly the pattern getting people's cards frozen elsewhere.

It never gives financial advice

No "get this card", no "cancel this policy", no ranked recommendation of a regulated product. 8 shows what you already hold, what its terms actually say, and general facts of UK consumer law that apply to everyone. Where two things overlap, it shows both — limits, excesses and exclusions side by side — plus the questions to ask. You decide.

It never claims a saving it can't stand behind

No self-attested "£412 accumulated" counted at the moment you tapped a button. If you tell us you used something, we record that you told us, label it self-reported and show the count next to it. Nothing else gets counted — including everything on this page, which is an estimate and says so.
