You feature a lot of data on Bundle. Where does it come from?

With a team of experienced statisticians and data junkies, we've compiled, tagged and sorted data from a (still-expanding) collection of sources. Our data comes from the U.S. government, from anonymous and aggregated spending transactions from Citi, and from third party data providers. We are always looking for new data sources that could benefit people. If you know of any that our users may find helpful, feel free to share them on our site or send the data source to data@bundle.com.

We're proud to make all of this information available to anyone who visits the site. It's a fundamental part of the Bundle philosophy that people can become more aware of their everyday spending and saving choices. And it's our way of leveling the playing field for people: companies have been paying millions of dollars for this kind of data for years in order to get you to buy more stuff. Now you can see it, too, and it won't cost you anything.

How often is the data updated?

Our spending data is updated approximately every week to ensure that our merchant information is relevant and up-to-date.

Drop a note to data@bundle.com and let us know what you'd like to see. We are always on the hunt for new data that can shed light on how spending and saving affect our daily lives and long-term goals.

How is Bundle different from other websites that provide information on merchants in my area?

Other websites focus on user reviews and ratings, which are valuable, but users are almost always biased in some way. The information we provide is based on real customer spending data, which means that we can determine how much customers really go back to a certain restaurant or shop and how much they really spend, as opposed to what they self-report in a review.

How are merchant rankings calculated?

Merchant rankings are calculated based on the Bundle Scores of the merchants, within a specific merchant category and location.

Why can't I find the merchant I'm searching for?

We're aiming to list every merchant in the areas we cover, but unfortunately there are some merchants whose data isn't available to us. Is there one you want to see that we're missing? Let us know via email at support@bundle.com, drop us a line on Twitter or Facebook, and we'll see what we can do.
