How Frequent Trip Rules Work

Frequent Trip Rules let you save a route so that future trips between the same start and end locations are classified automatically.

How it works

When you classify a trip, SmartMiles may offer to create a rule for that route. If you accept, any future trip that starts and ends near the same locations will be classified with the same purpose — no action needed from you.

For example, if you classify a trip from Home to Office as "Business" and save it as a rule, every future trip from Home to Office will automatically be classified as Business.

Creating a rule

1. Classify a trip in the Trips tab.
2. If the start and end locations match a pattern SmartMiles recognizes, you will see an option to "Always classify this route."
3. Tap to create the rule.

You can also create rules manually from Settings > Frequent Trip Rules.

How matching works

SmartMiles matches trips to rules based on proximity — not exact GPS coordinates. If a trip starts within about 400 meters of a rule's start location and ends within 400 meters of the rule's end location, the rule applies.

This means you do not need to park in the exact same spot each time. Driving to the same general area (like an office building or neighborhood) is close enough.

Managing your rules

Go to Settings > Frequent Trip Rules to see all your saved rules. From there you can:

• Enable or disable a rule without deleting it.
• Delete a rule you no longer need.
• See how many times a rule has been applied.

Priority

Frequent Trip Rules take priority over Work Hours auto-classification. If a trip matches both a Frequent Trip Rule and falls within your work hours, the Frequent Trip Rule wins.

If no rule matches, Work Hours classification is applied next (if configured). Trips that do not match either remain unclassified until you classify them manually.
