Simple web crawler / scraper for deals

For fun and maybe for profit, i want to implement the following:



  1. scheduled or manually triggered process that logs into all my bank accounts

  2. process knows bank site structure, and goes through "cashback/partner deals" pages

  3. all deal information is collected in one place and in one format

  4. when i'm going to buy something, i can quickly see if any of my cards has a special offer for that place. so that i can pay with the card that offers the best deal. ideally, this should happen on my android phone. that doesn't imply a standalone app though, e.g. you can search inside an email or googledoc or anything.


any ideas on implementation? don't limit yourself. suggest crazy things, as long as they work.


PS i did look for an existing website that offers something similar, but they all seem to focus on cards themselves rather than on specific deals for stores.
