Terms of Service

1. What this service does

CreditCardPoints.app ("we", "us", "our") is a free tool that analyzes your spending transactions to estimate rewards you could earn from various credit cards. We provide personalized estimates, not financial advice.

2. Your account

To use our analysis features, you need to create an account with a valid email address and password. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure. If you suspect unauthorized access, let us know immediately.

3. How we access your data

We use Plaid to securely connect to your bank. We receive read-only access to your transaction history. We cannot move money, make purchases, or modify your accounts in any way. You can disconnect at any time.

4. Affiliate links and commissions

Our card results include affiliate links. When you click "Apply" and are approved for a card through our link, we may earn a commission from the card issuer. This is how we keep the service free.

  • Affiliate relationships do not influence our ranking algorithm. Cards are sorted by estimated value to you.
  • We may earn different commission amounts from different issuers.
  • Not all cards shown have affiliate partnerships. Some are included purely for comparison.

5. Estimates, not guarantees

Our reward calculations are estimates based on your historical spending and publicly available card terms. Actual rewards may vary due to changes to card programs, spending pattern changes, category classification differences, and promotional variations.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the service for any unlawful purpose, attempt to access other users' data, reverse-engineer our systems, or create multiple accounts to abuse rate limits.

7. Limitation of liability

CreditCardPoints.app is provided "as is" without warranty. We are not liable for any financial decisions you make based on our estimates.

8. Account termination

You can delete your account at any time. We may also suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.

Affiliate Disclosure

How we make money

CreditCardPoints.app is a free service. We earn money through affiliate commissions when you click an "Apply" link on our site and are approved for a credit card. The card issuer pays us a referral fee at no extra cost to you.

Our rankings are independent

Our card recommendations are based entirely on your spending data and the publicly available reward structures of each card. Affiliate relationships do not influence how we rank cards. Every card is scored using the same algorithm, whether or not we have an affiliate relationship with the issuer.

In some cases, we may not have an affiliate relationship with every card issuer featured on the site. We include those cards anyway because our goal is to show you the most accurate results possible.

What this means for you

  • You never pay more by using our links. Affiliate commissions are paid by the card issuer, not by you.
  • We may earn different commission amounts from different issuers, but this does not affect card rankings or recommendations.
  • Not all cards on our site have affiliate links. Some "Apply" buttons may link directly to the issuer's website.
  • We regularly audit our card data against official issuer terms to ensure accuracy. If you spot an error, please let us know.

Affiliate partners

We may participate in affiliate programs offered through networks including, but not limited to, CJ Affiliate, Impact, Rakuten Advertising, and FlexOffers, as well as direct partnerships with card issuers.

Not financial advice

CreditCardPoints.app provides estimates and comparisons for informational purposes only. We are not financial advisors. Our recommendations are based on reward value calculations and do not account for your full financial situation, credit score, or approval likelihood. Always review the full terms and conditions on the issuer's website before applying for any credit card.
