About The Rundown

The Rundown collects the day's points, miles, credit card and personal finance headlines from a hand-picked list of publishers and puts them in one place, newest first. It updates on its own throughout the day. We show headlines only, always credited and always linked to the original — the point is to send you to the people who did the reporting, not to keep you here. Sources are chosen by hand, and the list changes when readers tell us it should.

Frequently asked questions

Where do the headlines come from?

From the public RSS feeds of the sites we follow — a hand-picked list of points, miles and personal finance publishers. We take the most recent handful from each, sorted newest first, and every headline links straight to that publisher's own article.

How often does The Rundown update?

Continuously. Sources are refreshed on a rotation through the hour rather than all at once, so new headlines appear throughout the day without anyone pressing a button. Anything published in the last 24 hours is tagged NEW.

Why only headlines, and not summaries?

Because the article belongs to the publisher who wrote it. Showing a headline and linking out sends them the reader; reprinting their words would take that reader away from them. It also keeps this an honest index rather than a rewrite of somebody else's work.

How do I get a site added or removed?

Ask us. The source list is curated by hand and we're glad to look at additions — and if you're a publisher who'd rather not be included, tell us and we'll take you off it, no argument.

Is this the same as a news aggregator?

In form, yes; in intent, narrower. There's no algorithmic ranking and no attempt to guess what you want — just a fixed, visible list of publishers we think are worth reading, in the order they published.
