Editorial Policy

How we produce content and maintain complete independence from card issuers.

Complete editorial independence

No card issuer can pay to be included, excluded or ranked higher. We may show ads and earn commissions from some links; neither is an input to our scores. We do not publish sponsored content. This site currently has no ads or paid links; if that changes, they’ll be labelled. See our Affiliate & Ads Disclosure.

Card rankings, scores, and editorial content are determined entirely by our published scoring methodology — nothing else.

How content is produced

All card data — rewards rates, annual fees, introductory offers, and benefits — is sourced directly from issuer websites and public disclosures. We review and update card information regularly. If we identify an error, we correct it promptly and note the correction.

How rankings work

Every card is evaluated using the same scoring model regardless of the issuer. There are no manual adjustments, no featured placements, and no way for any third party to influence where a card appears. The only thing that changes a card’s ranking is a change to the card’s own terms or a change to our published methodology.
