What they did
His best personal Claude project is a family travel and points HQ on his phone. He screenshotted every airline account and booking confirmation instead of typing them in. He added their cards (name and last 4 digits only) and got a cheat sheet of which card to use for groceries, dining, flights, hotels and EV charging. Claude valued their points across 10 programs and found about 184k points they'd mostly forgotten. It also mapped their 2027 trips on a 12-month calendar with the best way to pay for each and book-by dates.

Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
Be my family's travel and points assistant. I'll send screenshots of our airline and hotel accounts and booking confirmations. Save our loyalty numbers and balances, never full card numbers. From our cards ([name + last 4]), make a cheat sheet of which card to use for groceries, dining, flights, hotels and [other]. Estimate the value of our points in each program, then map these trips [list] on a 12-month calendar with the best way to pay and a book-by date for each.
