We are an independent publisher. Our reporters create honest, accurate, and objective content to help you make decisions. To support our work, we are paid for providing advertising services. Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Next” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. The compensation we receive and other factors, such as your location, may impact what ads and links appear on our site, and how, where, and in what order ads and links appear. While we strive to provide a wide range of offers, our site does not include information about every product or service that may be available to you. We strive to keep our information accurate and up-to-date, but some information may not be current. So, your actual offer terms from an advertiser may be different than the offer terms on this site. And the advertised offers may be subject to additional terms and conditions of the advertiser. All information is presented without any warranty or guarantee to you.

This page may include: credit card ads that we may be paid for (“advertiser listing”); and general information about credit card products (“editorial content”). Many, but not all, of the offers and clickable hyperlinks (such as a “Apply Now” button or “Learn More” button) that appear on this site are from companies that compensate us. When you click on that hyperlink or button, you may be directed to the credit card issuer’s website where you can review the terms and conditions for your selected offer. Each advertiser is responsible for the accuracy and availability of its ad offer details, but we attempt to verify those offer details. We have partnerships with advertisers such as Brex, Capital One, Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo and Discover. We also include editorial content to educate consumers about financial products and services. Some of that content may also contain ads, including links to advertisers’ sites, and we may be paid on those ads or links.

    Hurricane Florence has intensified to a Category 4 storm as it approaches the Carolinas and Virginia.  Governors in all 3 states have already issued mandatory evacuation orders to residents in coastal areas.

    The storm is expected to continue to strengthen this week before it makes landfall on Thursday.  Currently, the hurricane is traveling with 130 mph sustained winds.  But that figure is expected to increase to 150 mph.  Check out this video from space of the massive storm moving through the Atlantic Ocean.

    Experts are saying the magnitude of this storm is dramatic.  And this storm isn’t expected to just impact folks along the coast.  The National Hurricane Center is forecasting significant rainfall over a 7-day period, which could lead to catastrophic flooding.
