Perkler is a site that helps users organize loyalty programs and maximize their opportunities for free swag. Keeping track of a frequent flier miles account or a rental car loyalty program here and there isn’t terribly complicated, but what about the loyalty programs you’re enrolled in with coffee shops, clothing stores, supermarkets, and hotels?
Perkler sifts through the noise and lets you create an online wallet of your loyalty programs, aggregating the information for each program’s perks from its database. Perkler also recommends programs based on your interests and geographical location.
Perkler, which is based in Australia, is currently still in beta mode with a planned US and UK launch in early 2009.
