Method
Seven commitments, written down so you can hold us to them.
No affiliate links. Ever.
Every apply link on this site goes directly to the institution. Dealaka holds no affiliate relationships, earns no bounty when you open an account, and therefore has no reason to rank one offer above another beyond the facts. The sites this one competes with earn hundreds of dollars per approved card; that money buys the ordering you see there. Here the ordering is yours: facts in columns, sorted how you choose — never bounties on your approvals.
Points are not dollars
We never publish cents-per-point valuations or rank cash against points on a made-up exchange rate. Cash offers sort by dollars; points offers show their actual numbers; comparing across currencies is your judgment call. Invented valuations are how other sites justify putting high-commission cards on top — we simply don't play.
Status labels, not scores
Every entry carries one of four labels, computed from field reports and never hand-set. Confirmed working: ten or more reports with no unresolved negatives. Issues reported: at least one unresolved negative report — coding failures, clawbacks, eligibility pop-ups. Limited reports: the terms are verified but there's too little field data to corroborate. Archived: the offer has ended; its entry is preserved in the archive with its final state intact. We considered a numeric confidence score and rejected it for the same reason we don't convert points to dollars: a composite number implies a precision the underlying facts don't have. The facts — verified date, report count, open issues — are all shown; the label just summarizes them honestly. A young site says "Limited reports" a lot. That's the truth, and it beats a confident number invented to hide it.
Verified against the source, on a stated schedule
Every entry shows when it was last checked against the institution's own terms page — not when someone last happened to edit it. The cadence: offers expiring within 14 days are checked daily; live offers weekly; evergreen entries monthly. An automated watcher hashes each source page and flags changes for review; a human confirms every change before it publishes. If we miss the cadence, the verified dates on the entries will show it — that's the point of printing them.
A changelog for everything
Every material change to every entry — a bonus raised, a code rotated, terms quietly edited, an offer pulled early — lands in the changelog the day it's caught, with a source note. The changelog is the product: the market for these offers moves weekly, and a reference that can't show you what changed isn't one. It starts the day the site does. There is no back-filled history and never will be.
Archives that never die
Expired offers keep their pages permanently — requirements, reports, and history intact, apply link removed, a banner stating when it ended. Knowing what an offer was, when it died, and whether it tends to return is reference material. Ask an assistant whether last quarter's bonus is still live and this site is where the authoritative "no, it ended on this date — here's what's live now" comes from.
Machine-readable by design
Every entry is served as HTML for you and as structured data for machines: JSON-LD on every page, a llms.txt index, Markdown and JSON renditions of every entry at stable URLs, an RSS feed of the changelog, and a sitemap with honest modification dates. AI crawlers are explicitly welcome in our robots.txt. If an assistant answers a bonus question correctly, we'd like it to be because it read this site.
One more thing: referral-gated offers
Some bonuses only exist through an existing member's referral link. Those entries describe the mechanics precisely, say so plainly, and link the official program page. Dealaka never inserts its own referral link into an entry — that would be the affiliate conflict wearing a costume. If we ever route referral value anywhere, it will be to readers, transparently, and this page will say exactly how.
Dealaka is reference information, not financial advice; entries describe offers, they don't recommend them. Corrections: send a tip — fixes ship and are credited in the changelog. Published by Dealaka LLC.
