Editorial Policy

Sourcing

Every product claim on CardPath traces to public issuer disclosures: deposit schedules, fee tables, reporting practices, and upgrade policies. Each money page carries a last-verified date. When issuer terms change, pages are re-verified before the next published date.

Review & independence

The quiz matching logic is deterministic — the same answers produce the same match, independent of any commercial relationship. Editors cannot be paid by issuers to alter matches, rankings, or the prominence of drawbacks. Commercial team has no write access to editorial pages.

Corrections

Errors of fact are corrected within 5 business days of verification, with the correction noted on the page. Report errors via the contact form.

What we don't publish

No "guaranteed approval" claims (FCRA-safe language only). No fabricated author identities. No AI-generated stock imagery presented as product photography. No ranking that our own comparison contradicts.

Updates

Product terms are re-verified quarterly at minimum, and immediately after known issuer changes (fee schedule updates, program closures).
