Editorial methodology

How we research CardCheck vs other platforms

Last verified · 12 May 2026Editorial review date (UTC). Bump in code when facts are re-checked.

Issuer reward, fee, and lounge fields in the CardCheck catalogue are checked against published MITC PDFs on a weekly automated pass, with manual follow-up when a bank issues a new MITC or we spot a staging mismatch. These /vs comparison pages get an editorial read at least every quarter, and sooner if a competitor changes sign-up rules, flagship tools, or how they describe card benefits in a way that affects our rows.

Why we publish head-to-head platform pages

Indian shoppers often land on a marketplace or blog first, then realise the “best card” table does not line up with the bank’s MITC PDF. These pages exist so you can see how CardCheck is built differently — structured card data, rupee-native tools, and no account wall — before you spend time in an apply funnel.

Each row in the comparison table is a deliberate product decision, not a popularity vote. When we mark CardCheck “yes” for MITC-sourced data, we mean our production fields are traceable to issuer PDFs, not retyped marketing blurbs. When a competitor is “partial”, we explain the gap in the note so you can decide what risk you are willing to take on fees or reward caps.

How we keep the hub fresh

We do not auto-generate competitor claims from LLMs. Editors adjust copy when user-visible flows change — for example a site dropping phone-only eligibility, or adding a calculator. The “last verified” stamp above reflects the last time this hub copy and outbound links were sanity-checked, not the live timestamp of every issuer MITC in the catalogue.

If you notice a stale row, contact us with a link to the issuer’s current MITC or help page; we prioritise fixes that affect fee or reward math for salaried readers in India.

Example

A Bengaluru salaried user compares “CardCheck vs BankBazaar” before applying for a cashback card: they use CardCheck’s calculator with ₹45,000 monthly online spend, then cross-checks the annual fee waiver rule in the HDFC MITC PDF — the hub is the map; the card detail page plus MITC remain the source of truth.
