How RewardZ Travel earns money and how it affects our content.
How we make money
RewardZ Travelis an independent, reader-supported website. Some of our credit card "Apply" buttons are personal referral links: if you are approved through one, the card's issuer credits our founder's own account with card rewards (points or a statement credit), the same referral any cardholder can share. A smaller number of card links run through affiliate networks that pay a commission on approval, and some of our travel links (hotels, tours, eSIMs, and the like) pay a commission when you book. Many cards on the site carry no referral or affiliate path at all. We also offer a Plus subscription, which is free during our beta.
Compensation never determines our rankings or recommendations. We do not sell placement, and the order in which cards appear reflects our editorial judgment of what is best for the reader, not what pays us. Our opinions, reviews, and ratings are our own and are not provided, reviewed, or approved by any credit card issuer.
What this means for you
- Our opinions are our own. Compensation does not influence our card ratings, reviews, or recommendations. We evaluate cards based on their features, benefits, earning rates, and value relative to annual fees.
- Not all products are represented. RewardZ Travel does not include all credit card companies or all credit card offers available in the marketplace.
- No paid placement. The order in which credit cards appear on our pages is not for sale and is not influenced by whether a card pays us. It reflects our view of what is best for the reader.
- You pay nothing extra. Clicking a referral or affiliate link, or applying through our site, costs you nothing. The terms and conditions of credit card offers are set by the issuer, not by us.
Our editorial standards
We are committed to providing accurate, useful, and unbiased information about credit cards, travel rewards, and loyalty programs. Our editorial team evaluates products based on:
- Sign-up bonus value relative to minimum spend requirements
- Earning rates across common spending categories
- Annual fee relative to the value of benefits received
- Transfer partner options and flexibility
- Ancillary benefits (lounge access, travel credits, insurance)
- Overall value for different types of travelers
Referral and affiliate relationships
When you apply through a card link on RewardZ Traveland are approved, we may earn a referral reward (points or a statement credit on our founder's own account) or, on the smaller set of links routed through an affiliate network, a commission. Travel links may pay a commission when you complete a booking. This is how we fund our operations and keep our content free to read. Some cards have no such link, and we still feature them when they are the best fit.
We label the link next to each card so you can see which kind it is before you click, and we identify pages that contain these links with an "Advertiser Disclosure" notice. We believe in transparency and want you to make informed decisions.
