I thought I had done enough research and used their credit card top picks to find my next zero interest credit card. I got denied!!! I have excellent credit and there was NO reason for the card/bank to turn me down. That leads me to believe that Nerdwallet's sole reason for being is to gather and sell your personal information. Their "exercise your rights" section is a joke. After wending my way through, I still have no idea if I actually registered they do not have permission to sell my personal information.

I haven’t tried nerd wallet and never plan to. I watched an advertisement where race was injected into their “selling point” and for that I will not support a racist, biased company.
I used NerdWallet to get my first credit card, and was nervous because I wanted to make sure I didn't run into any issues (annual fees, not approved, etc). NerdWallet compared all of the applicable cards and provided all the info I needed to make the right choice. Thank you Nerds!
Nerdwallet is great It really helps when you can see your history and they give you clues for what you can do next. All positive stuff
Very informative. Although I'm just looking into what options are available for my specific needs at this time.
I just got on the web and hadn't had a chance to look around real good. I hope that I will have as much savings as other people.
Use as a place to compare credit card, mortgage and savings interest rates.
So far very enlightening and accurately informative, I told all my co-workers and family/friends
