Your hero did not read Nerd wallet "Best cash back card of 2018" or Bank Tracker "Best Credit Union of 2018" or Credit Cards Tracker "Best flat rate credit card of 2018" .

Call me cynical but is it possible that even Clark Howard, who I admire, is influenced by the affiliate fee that most credit cards offer if someone signs up using their link?

Edit to add this from Clark Howard's ad disclosure policy on his website. "We do however make money from links and offers from some companies and deals on our sites." And: "Clark does not include the entire universe of available credit or financial offers on our sites." He does say that: "While this helps us pay the bills, the trust that you have in us is our number one priority and always will be."
