Selecting which Credit Cards to Compare

Click on the icon to get a list of the cards which you can select for your comparison

If you only want to compare a couple of cards I recommend unchecking "toggle all" which will clear out all the cards (except for the very first one alphabetically) and then you can select the cards you want to compare (and uncheck the very first if you don't want to have that in your comparison)
