What we are, and what we are not

CardGuideHQ is an independent information publisher. We are not affiliated with GiftCardMall, MyGift, McGift, or any card issuer or payment network. We do not check balances and we never ask for card numbers, PINs, or security codes.

We do not issue gift cards, we do not check balances, and we are not affiliated with any card issuer or payment network.

How the publication is funded

CardGuideHQ may be funded by display advertising and by clearly disclosed affiliate links to ordinary retail products. At the time of writing, the site carries no advertising and no affiliate links. Our affiliate disclosure explains the position and will be updated if that changes.

Editorial standards

Our writing is original and is based on publicly available issuer documentation and general card practice. We do not accept payment for positive coverage. If we get something wrong, we correct it and note the change. Read the full editorial policy.
