Thrifty Traveler has released a free Google Docs and Excel tracker for over 50 top travel cards, helping users monitor statement credits and recoup annual fees

## Summary

Thrifty Traveler, known for flight deal alerts, has launched a free credit card benefit tracking tool available in Google Docs and Microsoft Excel formats.
