Alex Compton

Alex built Credit Compound after a decade of doing this the hard way: opening the cards, chasing the bank bonuses, sitting in the lounges, and keeping spreadsheets of every offer change because nobody else was. Those spreadsheets became the offer-history charts on every card page here.

The obsession is data over hype. An offer is only "the best ever" if the history says so, a point valuation is only honest if it survives real redemptions, and a strategy is only worth publishing with the risks stated at the top. Alex personally verifies the numbers behind card reviews, tracks transfer bonuses and bank bonuses as they move, and walks the lounge access rules card by card.

Alex writes under a pen name, a common practice in the points-and-miles world, so coverage of issuers and their products stays independent of any personal banking relationships. Every claim on the site stands on cited terms, tracked history and published methodology rather than on credentials, and corrections are always open in the comments and by email.
