UncoverCards is a U.S.-focused personal finance education website created to help gig workers, freelancers, and independent contractors understand how credit cards actually work.
Many gig workers earn income from multiple sources, experience irregular monthly earnings, and file taxes using 1099 forms instead of traditional W-2 employment. However, most credit card advice online is written for salaried employees and does not clearly explain how approval decisions work for self-employed individuals.
Our goal is simple:
To make credit card rules clear, practical, and understandable for people with non-traditional income.
Who We Help
We create detailed educational guides for:
- Gig workers (rideshare, delivery, app-based workers)

If you’ve ever wondered:
