Credit!!!!

I find that the information is helpful and current, especially for people who do not want a high interest rate, yet may need to boost their credit score by choosing a credit card.

Hello! Job well done!

I have to tell you, I don't really use credit cards these days, but if I were going to I definitely would want to know about cardrate.com. The front page is very catchy and I like the picture gender ratio at the top. I think my favorite part, other than all the specific information throughout, would have to be the drop down list towards the bottom where it allows you to filter and compare based on needs. If I had this website when I was 18, I probably still have the same cards today. Great Job!

Must See Credit Card Information

I was impressed with the author's credentials when I perused your website. I liked that the credit card rates were listed on the site in a way that wasn't complicated. On that note, the entire page was very informative. There was a lot of info there... maybe too much. Seemed a bit too much to take in all at once, but other than that small detail, I give you 4.5 stars (but your rating system didn't allow for "half" stars).

Informative

The website gives information that aided myself in learning and knowing what credit cards are best for me. Someone that has damaged credit and it helped me a great deal.

Understanding credit with questions answered by experts

I found this site to be very informative. There are many competitors all offering credit cards. All with a different interest %. I have always wondered how credit companies make money. Before make a decision to apply to a credit company I would strongly suggest using this site. You can ask question and receive answers. Print the information. Share the information through social media for those that may be unaware. Understand what creditors are looking for. I don't think there is any information you may want that you cannot find on the site. If you pose a question the information will be researched and provided if it's not already available. Great site
