Before I built HeresNext, I lost money on stuff I shouldn't have. Then I won some back when I knew what to ask for. Four real situations from my own purchases - two losses, two wins.
An ocean swim drowned the Garmin watch I loved. Garmin was sympathetic, but the warranty had ended weeks earlier. I never checked whether my credit card added 12 more months. By the time I thought of it, that window had closed too.
Lesson:Most premium cards add 12 to 24 months to the manufacturer warranty. Know which card paid, and its claim deadline.
A robot vacuum stopped working under warranty. The maker fixed it and swapped the battery as a courtesy. A year later it died for good, outside any coverage. I never checked whether my credit card would have extended it.
Lesson:Goodwill repairs happen, but they're not a promise. Know your real coverage dates instead of hoping for another one.
Different robot vacuum, different store. After almost four years of daily use, it stopped charging. Costco refunded the full price plus the sales tax I'd paid. No protection plan, no extended warranty, just Costco's standard return policy.
Lesson:Some retailers honor returns far past "normal." Knowing each one's policy tells you what you can still return.
My GROHE kitchen faucet failed after seven years. GROHE had tightened its warranty in 2020, but mine was bought in 2018 under the older limited lifetime terms. I filed a claim with the receipt and got a new faucet.
Lesson:The terms that apply are the ones in force the day you bought. The receipt date proves it.
“Two of these went my way. Two didn't. The pattern: in every case, knowing what coverage existed mattered more than what kind of product I'd bought. HeresNext exists to make that knowledge easier to use.”
The coverage exists. Most of it is invisible. We make it visible.
The basic coverage that came in the box. Receipt scanning extracts the dates. We remind you before it ends.
Amazon's 30 days. Target's 90. REI's 1-year satisfaction promise. We track each retailer's policy by category.
Most premium cards add 1 to 2 years of warranty. Tell us which cards you have. We map your card's warranty benefits to your purchases automatically.
Costco's free 2-year extension. The 60-day return window that comes with a My Best Buy Plus or Total membership. Apple's 14-day price-drop refund. Auto-applied where eligible.
AppleCare+, Asurion, SquareTrade, Geek Squad. The plan you bought and forgot, tracked alongside everything else.
Once your purchases and cards are tracked, ask "am I covered for this thing that just broke?" and get a direct answer: yes or no, with the exact policy and the claim path. No more digging through email or warranty PDFs.
Coverage analysis runs across all five layers. When two or three of them apply to the same purchase, we show you the layer whose window closes first. That's where you act.

Coverage estimates are based on publicly available card-benefits guides. We're continuously expanding the list of credit cards we support and refreshing our coverage data when issuers update their benefits — we do our best, but may occasionally fall behind. Always verify with your card issuer before filing a claim.
Tracking is the foundation. Answering "am I covered?" is what makes the tracking worth doing.
Receipt scanning extracts the product, retailer, date, and price in seconds. Confirm or edit. Manual entry also works.
We identify the manufacturer warranty, return window, credit card extension, retailer perks, and any third-party plan. You see the full picture.
Email reminders before any window closes. Pro tier adds push notifications and a custom schedule. You know what's next — and you decide what to do.
