Terms of Service

Effective Date: March 13, 2026

These Terms govern your use of BonusGo's credit card optimization platform. By using our Service, you agree to these Terms in full.

Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using BonusGo ("Service," "we," "our," or "us"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you disagree with any part of these Terms, you may not access the Service.

Description of Service

BonusGo is a credit card rewards optimization platform that provides:

  • Data-driven credit card recommendations using deterministic algorithms
  • Credit card comparison tools and detailed card information
  • Rewards calculation and portfolio optimization
  • Card portfolio tracking and management
  • Optional bank connection for spend tracking (Premium feature via Plaid)
  • AI-generated comparison content for card-vs-card analysis

Our recommendation engine uses mathematical calculations based on your spending patterns and current card data. AI is used selectively for content generation, not for recommendation logic.

User Accounts

Account Creation

To access certain features of the Service, you must create an account through Clerk, our authentication provider. You agree to:

  • Provide accurate, current, and complete information
  • Maintain and promptly update your account information
  • Maintain the security of your account credentials
  • Accept responsibility for all activities under your account
  • Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access

Your authentication credentials are managed by Clerk and are not stored by BonusGo.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for violations of these Terms or for any other reason at our sole discretion. You may delete your account at any time through your account settings.

Subscription and Payment Terms

First-time Premium subscribers receive a 7-day free trial. You will be charged the subscription fee ($9.00 CAD) at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial ends. You can cancel at any time during the trial without being charged.

Affiliate Disclosure and Commissions

Important: We participate in affiliate marketing programs with credit card issuers and financial institutions. When you click on affiliate links and apply for credit cards through our Service, we may earn a commission from the issuer.

Key points about our affiliate relationships:

  • Commissions are paid by the card issuer, not by you
  • Applying through our links does not affect your approval odds or card terms
  • Our recommendations are based on deterministic algorithms analyzing your spending patterns and card data, not commission rates
  • We clearly mark affiliate links where applicable
  • We comply with FTC guidelines for affiliate disclosure

Not Financial Advice

Disclaimer: The information provided through our Service is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial advice. We are not financial advisors, and our recommendations are based on algorithmic analysis of publicly available credit card data.

You should:

  • Conduct your own research before applying for any credit card
  • Review current terms and conditions on the issuer's official website
  • Consult with a qualified financial advisor for personalized advice
  • Understand that credit card terms, fees, and bonuses can change without notice
  • Consider your personal financial situation and credit goals

Data Accuracy

While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information about credit cards, rewards programs, and bonuses:

  • Card terms, fees, and bonuses are subject to change by issuers without notice
  • We are not responsible for inaccuracies in third-party data sources
  • You should verify all information on the issuer's official website before applying
  • Reward calculations are estimates based on the spending data you provide
  • Actual rewards earned may vary based on issuer terms and transaction categorization

We update card data regularly, but cannot guarantee real-time accuracy for all card offers and terms.

Plaid Integration (Premium Feature)

Premium users may optionally connect their bank accounts through Plaid to enable spend tracking. This feature is entirely optional and can be used to automatically categorize your transactions for more accurate recommendations.

By connecting your bank account, you agree to:

  • Plaid's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy
  • Allow us to access transaction data for spend categorization and tracking
  • Understand that bank connection can be revoked at any time through your account settings
  • Accept that we are not responsible for Plaid service interruptions or connection issues

Important: Your bank login credentials are handled exclusively by Plaid and are never accessible to BonusGo. We receive only aggregated transaction information necessary for spend analysis.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
