About

Last updated: June 15, 2026

CardCompass is an independent informational resource that helps people compare credit cards and understand how they work. We are not a bank, card issuer, lender, or financial advisor, and we do not approve applications or issue credit.

How we make money

Running this site costs money. We support it through advertising and, where available, affiliate partnerships — meaning we may earn a commission if you apply for a card through some of our links, at no additional cost to you. Advertising and affiliate relationships never change our editorial explanations, and the card data on this site is presented as illustrative examples rather than live offers.

Our approach

We aim to explain credit cards in plain English so you can make your own informed decision. Because rates, fees, and bonuses change constantly, always confirm current terms on the issuer's official website before applying.
