Your one-stop shop

creditcardGenius is your one-stop-shop for all things credit cards. Every piece of our content – including all tools, downloads, and resources – is 100% free for all users. And yes, this includes our advanced credit card comparison system.

What makes creditcardGenius different?

creditcardGenius uses a math-based algorithm that takes into account over 126 features of every credit card in our database, above and beyond rewards. Our Genius Rating and rankings are based on every aspect of the card – including fees, interest rates, insurance coverage, and your likelihood of approval.

What is a Genius Rating?

We track 126+ features of each card and compute one rating between 0 to 5 based on those features. That rating is then merged with your specific slider settings and is adjusted based on what’s most important to you. These 126+ features are grouped into 8 buckets: rewards, fees, perks, interest, insurance, approval, acceptance, and user reviews.

How does creditcardGenius make money?

creditcardGenius receives a referral fee for some credit cards listed; however, our comprehensive and math-based algorithm solely dictates the results of our rating system. Our ratings and rankings are strictly independent of compensation. Read our disclosure about how CCG makes money.
