Frequently asked questions

What does “lifetime free” mean on this site?

We use lifetime free when the issuer states no annual fee on the primary card for the life of the account, subject to their terms. Add-on cards, forex markup, and late fees may still apply — always read the MITC.

How often are fees updated?

We re-check joining and annual fees against issuer MITCs at least quarterly and note Last updated on each review. If a bank changes terms, use the official product page linked in the review before applying.

Do you guarantee card approval?

No. Approval is subject to the lender’s eligibility criteria and credit assessment. Our reviews describe features and costs; they are not an application guarantee.

Which card is best for me?

We do not recommend a single “best” card for everyone. Start with a category hub (cashback, travel, fuel, or students), open the full review, and compare fees and earn rates to where you actually spend.

Are apply links affiliate links?

Phase A reviews link to official issuer websites only. We may add partner apply links later; when we do, this page’s disclosure will apply before any commission link.
