Sign in with Google

You can now create your account or sign in with one tap using Google. Email and password still work exactly as before.

Needs Attention on your dashboard

A strip at the top of the dashboard surfaces bonuses that need action now — deadlines, overdue bonuses, and accounts that are churnable again — with one-tap actions. Tap any item to jump straight to it.

Popular bonuses in one tap

A new, even easier way to add bonuses — pick from a curated list of popular ones above the form and the fields auto-fill. Refreshed weekly from Doctor of Credit.

Safe-to-close date

Each bonus now has a "Safe to close" date for tracking when an account can be closed without losing the bonus to an early closure fee or clawback.

Mark DDs as externally funded

Bonuses funded outside your paycheck (ACH push, brokerage transfer, etc.) can now be marked as such. They're listed separately on the dashboard and excluded from the paycheck allocation bar.

More control in Settings

The Settings page now hosts your weekly digest preference (toggle it off any time) and your paycheck amount (previously buried in the Dashboard). Anything that's a "set once, rarely touch" preference belongs here.

Better deadline tracking

Each bonus now has a separate "Requirements deadline" (when you need to complete DDs) and "Bonus deadline" (when the bonus should post). Waiting-for-Bonus accounts now show "Expected by [date]" on the dashboard, pipeline, and weekly digest.

Public API

A read-only API for accessing your bonuses programmatically — build briefings, integrations, or whatever automation you've been wanting on top of your pipeline. Generate a key in Settings and head to the API docs to get started. Premium only.

Premium is here

Five new premium features: Smart Import (paste a URL, AI fills the form), Advanced Analytics, Multiplayer (track bonuses across multiple people), Tax Summary, and Spreadsheet Import. $20/year or $35 lifetime. The free tier keeps everything you had before — plus 2 free Smart Imports per month to try it out.

Fresh new look

BonusWave got a visual refresh — cleaner typography, refined spacing, and a more polished feel throughout. Same app, same data, just nicer to use.

April 19, 2026

Smarter churnable dates

Churnable dates that have passed now show as "Churnable now" so you don't miss your window. The list is capped at 3 with a Show All toggle, and banks you've already re-opened are automatically hidden.

March 22, 2026

More deadline shortcuts

Bonus deadline now supports more shortcuts: +30d, +45d, +60d, +90d.

Weekly email digest

Every Sunday you'll get a summary of your bonuses: upcoming deadlines, requirements to complete, and accounts to close. If you don't want it, there's an unsubscribe link in every email.

March 13, 2026

Better onboarding for new users

New users now see a welcome screen with a clear call to action instead of an empty dashboard. The first bonus form is simplified to just the essentials — bank, amount, and deadline — so you can get started in seconds. You can always expand to the full form if you need more fields.

BonusFlow is now BonusWave

Same app, same data, new name. Update your bookmarks to bonuswave.app.

March 9, 2026

Card transaction tracking

Track card transaction requirements alongside direct deposits. Set the required count per bonus and tap +1 in the pipeline as you complete them.

March 5, 2026

CSV export

Export all your bonuses to a CSV file from the app header.

Business account support

Tag accounts as business accounts to keep personal and business bonuses organized.

February 28, 2026

Hyperlinks in notes

Paste URLs in the notes field and they'll render as clickable links.

Clear dates with one tap

Added clear buttons on date fields so you can easily reset them.

February 21, 2026

Deadline & churnable date shortcuts

Quick buttons to set bonus deadline (+90 days) and churnable date (+1yr / +2yr) from the date opened.

Smarter form defaults

The bonus form now auto-fills related fields and validates that dates and stages are consistent.
