We built TripTruth to fix biased travel card reviews — ask us anything

Hey PH community we're launching TripTruth tomorrow, an independent audit lab for US travel credit cards.

Most travel card review sites earn affiliate commissions from the cards they rank. That creates a real conflict: a $695/year card pays a bigger referral than a no-fee card, so it gets better coverage regardless of whether it makes sense for you.

TripTruth does the math honestly:

- No affiliate links or sponsored rankings

TripTruth - Honest math audits for travel cards. No sponsored rankings.

Most travel card reviews are written to sell you the card. TripTruth does the opposite. Each audit runs the real fee math — what you actually pay vs. what you realistically capture — using a built-in calculator with your spending habits, not best-case assumptions. No sponsored rankings. No affiliate-first scoring. Just: is this card worth it for a real person? Audited so far: Capital One Venture X, Amex Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Amazon Prime Visa, Robinhood Platinum.
