Norte

As we hit 100+ users, I interviewed beta testers and hired a UI designer to update the overall UX. Go and check it out: https://norteapp.io

Now you can follow Norte on YouTube, and learn how it works. First video out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQTnAlM7tYo&list=PLptgLpmD0n--nYTtHjFanuUyzAbazUzT_

Upload your insurance or benefits PDF, and the Norte Assistant now parses it and answers coverage questions with references to your actual document. ✅ Cites exclusions, limits, and requirements ✅ Adds “Duration check” lines automatically ✅ Premium free if you refer Norte to 3 friends

Until now, even our free tier asked users to sign up before seeing value. That created friction. So we flipped it: now anyone can try the coverage checker instantly. In the first 24 hours, 40 people used it — already more engagement than when we gated it. Why it matters: • Helps travelers & cardholders instantly see if their benefits are covered. • Reduces signup friction for first-time users. • Lets us test whether “showing value first” drives better conversions long term.

No App Store, no downloads — just open norteapp.io, click Install, and Norte lives on your home screen. ✅ Faster access ✅ Works full-screen ✅ Same privacy-first experience (no card data stored) Perfect for checking your coverage on the go.

One big change this week at Norte: we cleaned up the dashboard to keep it simple and trigger-focused. Instead of just telling you “you’re covered,” Norte now shows you: 👉 Rental: up to $75k 👉 Travel: up to $20k trip cancellation 👉 Purchase protection: $10k per claim 👉 Emergency medical: $2.5k And a Coverage Value total — a conservative estimate of how much protection you already own through your cards & policies. The result: a dashboard that’s easier to scan, more transparent, and delivers instant clarity at the decision point. This is why we’re building: coverage shouldn’t live in fine print. You should see it, trust it, and use it. 💬 Curious to hear from users — would seeing the $$$ value change how you think about your benefits?

American Express just announced the largest Platinum card update in its history! A $200 fee increase to $895, but with over $1,000 in new lifestyle benefits. The catch most people are talking about: Multiple enrollment requirements and quarterly deadlines that most cardholders will miss. While the headlines focus on the fee increase, I have just mapped all 8 new credit categories, their activation requirements, and expiration cycles into our coverage intelligence system at Norte! Just updated our database this morning. With Amex Platinum being one of the most saved cards from Norte users, it's time to log in and check the update.

We just rolled out a major Wallet upgrade that makes Norte even sharper at those trigger moments (pre-trip, pre-purchase). What’s new in the Wallet: 1. Profile data integration - Your residence, expat status, and travel profile now flow directly into Wallet insights. - Coverage is adapted to your actual context — no more one-size-fits-all assumptions. 2. Regional cost intelligence - Added a new cost engine for CDW (Collision Damage Waiver). - Shows typical rates in your destination (e.g. €30/day in Spain, $40/day at US airports). - Helps you see the real savings if you rely on your card vs buying extra coverage. 3. Card-geography logic - Norte now compares your card’s issuing country with your country of residence. - Flags conflicts like “US Amex + Spain residency = 15-day rental coverage limit” or “Italy requires CDW → card benefit void.” 4. Policy & card overlap detection Identifies when your auto, travel, or credit card policies duplicate each other. Surfaces warnings like: “Your travel insurance and Amex both cover emergency medical.” “Your auto policy + card both cover rental cars domestically.” 5. Smarter insights in context - Added warning cards and tooltips inside Wallet. - More transparent about exclusions (tires, glass, luxury cars) and claim requirements (declining CDW, pre-authorization, documentation). Why it matters: Instead of digging through benefit guides or guessing at the rental desk, Wallet now gives you real-time clarity. → Where your card covers you. → Where you’re exposed. → Where you’re double-paying. This makes Norte not just a place to store your cards and policies, but a true coverage intelligence layer that helps you make smarter choices on the spot.

Most of us already have protections we don’t see: – Laws that cover us when we travel – Credit card benefits hidden in PDFs – Insurance from work we forget exists Because it’s invisible, we buy duplicates or leave gaps. Norte’s new brand is built around one idea: we’re the revealer. We show you what you already have → so you decide with confidence.
