When rating credit cards and credit card issuers, we use an 18-point rubric that looks at rewards and perks, rates and fees, features, eligibility requirements, customer service, and user reviews. We weigh each section differently to calculate the total star rating.

  • Rewards & Perks: 40% of the total star rating
  • Rates & Fees: 30% of the total star rating
  • Features: 15% of the total star rating
  • Eligibility Requirements: 5% of the total star rating
  • Customer Service: 5% of the total star rating
  • User Reviews: 5% of the total star rating

Each section is further broken down into granular, weighted subsections, in which we examine specific attributes like APR, introductory offers, cash back and travel rewards, credit score requirements and disclosures, foreign transaction fees, and the availability of employee cards.
