Credit card reviews editorial policy
Welcome to the reviews section of CreditCards.com! We are a team of personal finance journalists and industry analysts who feel passionately about the payments industry and providing accurate, detailed, useful information to our readers.
We strive for the utmost editorial integrity and objectivity in all our content to help you make financial decisions that are in your best interest. Though our site is supported by advertising dollars, our editorial department is separate from our company’s business operations. Our advertisers do not determine the types of products that we review, nor do they influence the content of our reviews.
To ensure that the cards in our reviews are rated objectively, we have created a scoring system that ranks and scores cards based on how they compare to similar cards along a set of criteria. Learn more about our scoring system
Some of our reviews cover products for which we receive compensation. When you click to apply for a credit card product using the links that you find on this site, we receive compensation from the credit card company that issues the card.
But unlike other sites, we also review cards that are not advertised on our site.
Our advertising partners include the following financial institutions:
- American Express
- Bank of America
- Barclaycard
- Capital One
- Chase
- Citi
- Discover
- First PREMIER Bank
- Luxury Card
- Pentagon FCU
- S. Bank
