Our Editorial Policy

CryptoCardHub strives to provide accurate, unbiased and up-to-date information about cryptocurrency cards. Our review process involves:

• Collecting data directly from issuer documentation, regulatory filings and official announcements.
• Verifying reward rates, fees and regional availability with at least two independent sources.
• Having each page reviewed by an experienced analyst (James Burr) before publication.
• Updating key metrics at least once per quarter or within 7 days of a confirmed change.

Editorial Picks & House Placements

When no paid placement is active, CryptoCardHub may prominently highlight a card selected from our independent rankings. These house placements are chosen by our editorial team, are not purchased by the issuer, and never change the card's score or rank.

An editorial pick may include an affiliate link. If a reader signs up through that link, CryptoCardHub may earn a commission at no additional cost to the reader. Editorial picks are labeled separately from paid "Partner Card" placements.

Featured Cards & Paid Placements

Featured cards receive prominent placement through paid partnerships with card issuers. This arrangement helps us:

• Keep the site free – Revenue from partnerships allows us to provide comprehensive card comparisons at no cost to users.
• Maintain editorial independence – Paid placement never influences our scoring methodology, rankings, or reviews.
• Ensure transparency – Featured cards are clearly labeled as "Partner Card" with disclosure text.
• Support quality content – Partnership revenue funds our research, data verification, and regular updates.

Featured cards must meet our standard review criteria and are subject to the same fact-checking process as all other cards. The payment only affects placement, never content or scores.

Card Submissions & Fast Listings

Anyone can suggest a card for free. We look at every suggestion, but free submissions have no timeline and are not guaranteed to be listed.

Issuers who need a firm timeline can pay for a fast listing. We list a paid card within 7 business days, or refund the fee if we can't list it, for example because the card hasn't launched, isn't available to the public, or fails our fraud checks. The fee buys speed, nothing else:

• It does not affect scores, rankings, category placement or what we write.
• Issuers do not preview or approve our text before publication.

Paid fast listings are disclosed on their card page. Corrections and updates are free for every card, paid or not.

Affiliate Links & Transparency

Some outbound links are affiliate or referral links, identified with rel="nofollow sponsored". Using these links never affects the objectivity of our rankings and costs you nothing.

Corrections & Feedback

If you spot an error, please let us know via the feedback button on each card page or through our contact form. We aim to address factual corrections within 48 hours.
