How does Kudos make money?Updated 3 months ago

Today, we make money in two main ways that allow us to pass 100% of the merchant commissions back to you:

Merchant Commissions: When you make a purchase at one of our 15,000+ partnered stores, merchants pay us a commission. We pass 100% of these commissions directly to you through our Kudos Boost rewards program so that you are stacking maximum rewards on top of your card rewards.

Card Application Commissions: When you apply for a credit card using one of our personalized tools—like Dream Wallet or our Card Explorer tool —we earn commissions from card issuers. Using our links to apply for cards directly supports us and helps us keep offering valuable tools and maximum rewards for free.
