Cards tracked.

- Zero
Pay-for-placement.
The ranking algorithm has no field for affiliate payout. The math is identical whether we earn on a card or not. Your top recommendation is the same one we'd give a friend.
- Open
Methodology.
See exactly how we rank. Every formula published. No proprietary scoring black box.
