Auto loan rates were crap! I have two pre approvals for a full 1% less than the offers from Nerdwallet. Do you homework, check multiple sources before making a decision.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Rates too high. Too many spam calls immediately after. Credit Karma had better rates from the same companies and had even more options. This was fast to see offers though.

Do not trust nerdwallet reviews!!

Do not trust nerdwallet reviews!!! False marketing and false review article and false ranking in Bank of America rewards cards. Did not mention there’s a spend cap on rewards. Did not mention after the quarterly spend cap, the reward rate is only 1%.

Paid Advertising for Companies

Paid Advertising for Companies, Not users!
Used to trust them for advice and comparisons, but did this with their business account advice and was fooled by their first pick. After a month of applying and opening an account, I learned that none of what the article stated was in fact possible with this account. There is no way to get money in and out. I WISH I could have read a users experience with their advice, but no real comments or rating reviews allowed, because they're just an advertisement site. Very disappointing. DO NOT TRUST
