Wow. “spamguy” (nice name) you need to chill out and maybe not hit send twice. And you should also look a little deeper into things before you slam them. I checked into KnowBeforeYouApply and apparently they just use the last 4 of your social for identity verification. And who cares about management names? Does anybody even read that stuff anyway?

Love the whole idea though of both services. Not that I need another credit card, but if I did I’d probably give one or both a shot. Um except I can’t use Billshrink b/c it freezes! Are they still not handling the increased traffic from Friday’s reviews?

Hey EZE,
Great, you must be friends with Justin the troll above. Love how your site lists management as experts with no actual names.. And you are asking for my name, address, and last 4 digits of my social?? yeah, ok, would you like me to mail you a key to my house and let you know when I’m not home? Anything else you need to steal my identity or hack into any bank account I have?

Let’s not troll and spam mr. EZE?? Is that a real name?

You must obviously be the owner of indexcreditcards… let’s not troll…
How could you even compare? Your site looks like a spambot threw up with keywords.

You should checkout KnowBeforeYouApply — http://www.know...oreyouapply.com — which works to inform you what you would be approved for before ever applying. As 85% of online credit card loans are declined, it makes more sense to know what you would be approved for. We achieve that through our relationship with the credit bureau and card issuers sharing their pre-qual criteria. BTW, its all FREE, you get a free credit grade from your true credit report and it does not affect your credit score…

Re: these tools have been around for a while now.

That may be so, but not as pretty or easy. Sometimes, It’s not that the idea is out there, but that it’s marketed to me in a unoffensive way (such as on a blog…) and that it’s SUPER easy to use. I’m a very lazy, lazy person.

That definitely sounds like a useful tool. I wouldn't mind having one or two lower APR's I will have to look further into that tonight! Thanks for the article. Jake NoteScribe: Premier Note Taking Software

Not working for me either. Just too much traffic today I guess.

@shawn The browser detection is just to serve up different style sheets for IE6. We’ve worked hard on supporting IE6 and are working on fixing the bug that you’ve been seeing. If you contact us via the site we’d be happy to let you know when it’s fixed.

Site only works in IE 7 or Firefox by browser detection??? Javascript kept trying to fire AJAX query in a loop. Bug on the page….Too bad they want me to use a browser that isn’t supported in our enterprise environment. This is arrogance and snobbery. When designers make a special page to interject their own browser preferences before the site will load is very juvenile. Will not revisit.

This doesn't seem much different than IndexCreditCards.com or other card comparison sites, although the interface might be a bit slicker. Surprised to see coverage here, Lifehacker, Cnet...

Fabian, sorry about that. (earlier comment) = The volume of traffic from all the positive reviews is crushing the site. Please do try again later today..

I just tried the CC function and after taking what it seemed for ever it gave me a blank page. So … this is a user they could not convert.

Kevin, yes speaking on behalf of Billshrink.

Actually combined with Techcrunch, lifehacker and the consumerist are crushing our site

Hi Peter, many thanks for taking the time to respond. I will try again and, as I said, I think your offering is a lot better than most of the existing credit card comparison sites. Nicely designed, simple navigation and pleasant UX. Thanks again,

Kind regards
Kevin

Sweet. A lackluster search tool which requires 10 hours of dev time, serving up the same CardOffers database that every other credit card affiliate has been using. These have been around on about 100 credit card sites for 3 years.

Not sure why this is on TC.
