Editorial Policy
How we write for Virtual Card Compare
Every comparison, guide, and explainer on Virtual Card Compare starts with a human — not a script. Our editors and writers test virtual card products themselves, when available, and rely on first-hand evidence like cardholder agreements, issuer disclosures, and real customer-service interactions. We do not publish AI-generated reviews or copy-paste vendor claims.
What we commit to
- Accuracy first: We check fees, limits, and rewards terms against the issuer’s own documents before we publish. If we can’t verify a detail, we say so.
- Transparent corrections: When a product changes or we make a mistake, we update the page promptly and note the date of the last review.
- No paid placement: Being listed on our site never costs a card issuer. Our rankings reflect our independent testing and research only.
About affiliate links
Some links on Virtual Card Compare are affiliate links. If you click one and sign up for a product, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our editorial verdicts. We only recommend products we would consider using ourselves, and we clearly mark sponsored content when it appears.
Responsible use and age limits
Virtual cards are a spending tool, not a credit repair scheme or a way to dodge debt. We encourage all readers to use them within their means. Our content is intended for adults age 18 and older. If you’re struggling with spending or debt, we recommend free resources like the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC) or your state’s consumer protection office.
