Affiliate Disclosure
The short version
Some outbound links are affiliate or referral links. If you order a card through them, we may earn a commission from the provider - at no additional cost to you. Rankings, scores, verdicts and the dead-cards archive are computed from published criteria and never sold or adjusted for deals (see methodology).
Current state
Most links point straight to the provider. Three cards currently carry referral parameters inside the central redirect - same destination for every visitor, never a ranking factor: Freedomia (referral code), Xapo (referral code) and ether.fi Cash (referral handle). Every other /go/ link is a plain direct link. Negotiated affiliate partnerships would replace those links via the central redirect; nothing changes on your side. This list is updated whenever a link gains or loses a parameter.
How the redirect works
Every outbound card link runs through /go/ on this site. We count clicks per card per day (no IPs, no profiles - see privacy) to know which reviews serve readers. The destination can change when a deal is signed; your experience cannot.
What we promise
No paid placements disguised as rankings. No removal of honest cons. No burying of discontinued, dead or scam-listed programs - those keep their warning reviews and lose their visit links entirely.
The programs themselves
Referral-program research is published on Best referral programs: reward structures and payout terms appear there as each program is verified against its official page, and each review carries the provider's program facts. That page compares the deals for potential partners - it does not change a single card score.
