Find refunds and money you're owed hiding in your inbox

One reviewer's email sweep turned up an 8-hour flight delay that paid out $1,400.

About 15 minutes A few steps

A sample of what you get back, made with AI.

Your prompt

Fill in your details. Skip any you like.

ChatGPT and Claude open with your prompt already typed in. Gemini can't be filled in from a link, so its button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.

The prompt that gets copied

Please search my connected email from the last [HOW FAR BACK, e.g. 12 months] and look for any money I might be owed. Check for delayed or canceled flights and trains, refunds a company promised but may not have paid, orders that arrived late or broken, store credits and gift cards I never used, price-drop or price-match guarantees, and deposits that should have come back. Take your time and read the details, not just subject lines. For each one you find, give me a table with: what happened, the date, the company, roughly how much I could get back, how sure you are, and the exact next step (a link, a form or a short message I can send). Put the biggest and easiest wins first. Don't send or submit anything. Tell me what you found and wait for me to approve each one.

Connect your email and ask AI to comb a year of messages for delayed flights, missed refunds, credits and price guarantees. You get a list of money owed and the next step for each.
