Why it exists
The credit card comparison category is dominated by sites that paraphrase issuer pages, bury the real numbers under sponsored content, and never update once the launch traffic settles. Welcome offers change. Annual fees change. Categories rotate. Most aggregator pages don't.
ccdeck is built on the bet that the right way to compete in this space is to automate the data and earn the editorial. Daily scrapers re-read every cited issuer page so the numbers stay current. Cards only ship when every number traces back to a source. Editorial gets written when there's something genuinely useful to say, not to farm a search ranking.
How it's built
- Every numeric or terms-based claim traces back to an issuer's own page. Scraped, hashed, and re-verified daily.
- Cards only ship when the verifier passes: data in the database matches what's rendered on the card page, and both match the cited source. See methodology for the long version.
- The site is static, served from Cloudflare's edge network. No tracking, no accounts, no newsletter.
What it's building toward
- A complete index of the cards most Americans actually consider, with verified, fresh data on every one.
- Filters that work like the search a serious cardholder would build for themselves: lounge networks, transfer partners, elite status programs, real benefit caps.
- Comparison pages that do the breakeven math for you instead of assuming you'll do it yourself.
- Editorial that says what's wrong with the conventional wisdom, not what reinforces it.
