Editorial independence, affiliate disclosure, and the limits of our guidance

How do affiliate links and editorial independence work here?

Credit Cards Magazine publishes general personal-finance education in good faith. We are not a bank, card issuer, or financial advisor. Some links on this site are affiliate links, and we explain below how they work and why they never decide what we recommend. Always verify rates, fees, and terms with the issuer before applying.

Affiliate disclosure

Some outbound links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and are approved for a card or product, the issuer or network may share a commission with us, at no cost to you. Those applications happen on the issuer's own site under the issuer's terms and privacy policy, not ours.

Compensation never decides what we recommend. We choose what to feature on the merits, write our guidance before any links are added, and mark affiliate links clearly. An issuer cannot pay to change our advice, its ranking, or its placement, and we leave cards out when they do not earn one.

Not financial advice

The guides here are general information and education, not personalized financial, legal, or tax advice for your specific situation. Credit-card rates, fees, terms, rewards, and offers vary by issuer and change frequently, and the right choice depends on your individual circumstances. Always confirm the current details directly with the issuer, and consult a qualified professional where appropriate, before you rely on anything you read here.

We work to keep our guidance accurate and current, but we cannot guarantee that every figure or rule described is up to date at the moment you read it. If you spot something out of date, please tell us so we can correct it.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does Credit Cards Magazine issue credit cards?

No. We are an independent publication, not a bank, card issuer, or financial advisor. We publish guides on choosing and using credit cards. Applications happen on the issuers' own sites under their terms, and some of our links to those issuers are affiliate links that may earn us a commission at no cost to you.

How do your affiliate links work?

When you click an affiliate link and are approved for a card, the issuer or network may share a commission with us at no cost to you. The application happens on the issuer's site under its own terms and privacy policy. Compensation never influences our recommendations, which we write on the merits before any links are added and mark clearly.

Is the information here guaranteed to be accurate?

We work hard to keep it accurate, but credit-card rates, fees, terms, and offers vary by issuer and change frequently, and our guides are general education, not advice for your situation. Always confirm current details directly with the issuer before applying, and consult a qualified professional about your individual circumstances where appropriate.
