Home/Research/Card data standard
Research infrastructure

A card comparison is only as good as its data model.

This is the structured field standard behind the CredoNomics V7 card-intelligence engine. Public product records remain source-backed and date-stamped.

01

Identity

Issuer, product name, network and product status.

02

Ownership cost

Joining fee, annual fee, applicable tax and fee-waiver threshold.

03

Reward engine

Base rate, accelerated categories, caps, cap periods and redemption value.

04

Exclusions

Transactions or merchant categories that do not earn the expected benefit.

05

Travel & fuel

Lounge rules, forex markup and fuel surcharge-waiver conditions.

06

Verification

Official source links, effective dates and a last-verified date.

No invented card database.

CredoNomics should not publish a product record until current official source documents and a last-verified date are attached. The custom comparison engine is live now; the public product registry grows only as verified records are added.
