CompareCards.com was founded by Chris Mettler as a solution to the overwhelming number of credit card offers out there today. Which issuer offered the lowest rate? Which credit card company has the most generous reward programs? What are my options if I don't have perfect credit? Mettler was driven to provide an informative solution to those questions with the development of CompareCards.com.

In 2004, credit card companies still relied heavily on direct mail to market credit card products to new customers. As the Internet became safer and more secure, credit card companies slowly began offering online applications. CompareCards started as a listing resource and has grown with the introduction of virtual credit card applications. Users can compare over 100 credit card offers side by side and utilize tools including savings calculators, glossary of credit card terms and fee estimators to choose the best credit card offer. Consumer Action News named CompareCards.com one of just three sites to meet all criteria for helping consumers get the right credit card deal.

Search, compare and apply for your credit card online. CompareCards.com offers more than 100 of the leading credit card offers as well as details on obscure and lesser known credit cards. We wish you efficient research, savings and effective credit management when choosing your next credit card.
