How we make money
Lounge Intelligence is free to use. In the future, when you apply for a credit card through an “Apply” link on this site, the issuer may pay us a commission — at no extra cost to you. We are not yet running any paid links.
Advertiser Disclosure: This site may contain links to credit card offers from issuers from which Lounge Intelligence receives compensation. This compensation does not influence our editorial content, recommendations, rankings, or the lounge data we publish. Card terms and offers are set by the issuer and may change; always verify current terms on the issuer's official site before applying.
Confidence blends source authority, extraction method, corroboration, and freshness, and decays over time until a source is re-verified. Live-verified sources are read directly from the official page; assisted and reference sources are queued for automated headless-browser verification. Always confirm time-sensitive details against the linked official source before you travel.
