Rewardopedia primary lockup
Automated rankings under a published, version-controlled methodology; 182 card records across 10 issuers at launch, with a public timestamp on every record
MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, August 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rewardopedia, an independent comparison platform for credit cards and travel rewards, today launched at rewardopedia.com. The site publishes side-by-side card comparisons drawn from issuer terms, a public data-freshness dashboard, and five calculators that report points, miles, and dollars instead of subjective point valuations.
“Readers should be able to check the work,” said Mary Massoumi, founder and CEO of M Powered Ventures, which operates Rewardopedia. “That means issuer math you can open, a public freshness date on every record, and a methodology that goes out before the first hotel-night figure.”
Built around direct comparison
The platform is built around direct comparison. Readers can place two options side by side, including live matchups across six hotel loyalty programs, such as Hyatt versus Hilton. Figures come from a fully automated pipeline that Rewardopedia operates independent of issuers and affiliate networks.
Five calculators on rewardopedia.com/tools translate rewards terms into concrete outcomes based on how a reader actually spends and travels. Find your break-even spend compares an annual fee with the category mix a reader enters. Compare current welcome offers lines up current published welcome offers from the catalog. What your card actually earns reports native points, miles, or cash back with a conservative 1 cent per point floor. Trip cost combines a measured hotel basket with the daily spend a reader enters. Cash out, portal, or transfer compares those redemption paths from published point values. Each calculator shows its inputs and assumptions on the page, so results can be traced back to issuer terms rather than to an editor’s point valuation.
How rankings are produced
Rankings are generated by the Rewardopedia Engine under a published, version-controlled methodology, available at rewardopedia.com/about. Results cannot be manually overridden, and commissions do not influence inclusion or verdicts. No issuer or sponsor signs off on what the platform publishes.
“Advertised point values are a marketing number,” Massoumi said. “What a reader actually redeems is usually a different one, and that gap is why the issuer math has to sit in public.”
Launch catalog and data freshness
As of Aug. 21, 2026, the catalog held 182 card records across 10 issuers, including Chase, American Express, Citi, Capital One, and Barclays. Of those, 148 records last changed in the prior 30 days.
A public dashboard at rewardopedia.com/data-freshness shows when each issuer’s records last changed. The dashboard is updated automatically as the pipeline runs, giving readers a verifiable answer to the question most comparison sites leave open: how old is this information?
A methodology-first hotel-night cost index
Rewardopedia has also published the methodology for a planned hotel-night cost index: one dated figure per destination per month, hotels only, within a fixed, defined central area of each city. The first public run is still in calibration, and no destination figures are live. The company chose to publish the method before the first number rather than quote hotel prices that change before a page is finished.
