I wrote an automated solution to spending requirements for high interest checking accounts. High interest checking accounts (up to 5% APR) often require a dozen or more transactions a month to qualify for high rates. Debbit automates this by purchasing 50 cent Amazon gift cards and/or paying your cable bill in small increments throughout the month.

Behind the scenes, Debbit is a hand rolled scheduler that runs Selenium automation to navigate Amazon + bill pay websites.
