How do you make money?

PointsCompare earns affiliate commissions when users apply for credit cards through our links. This allows us to provide our comparison tool for free. These affiliate relationships do not influence our card rankings or recommendations, which are purely based on mathematical calculations of rewards value.

Do you consider credit score requirements?

Our current tool focuses solely on rewards optimization. We don't factor in credit score requirements or approval odds in our recommendations. We recommend checking your credit score and researching card requirements before applying for any credit card.
