How We Make Money

Last updated: October 7, 2026

Capital Card Square is free to use. We earn affiliate commissions when readers click through our links to our advertising partner and take a qualifying action. This is how we keep our content free.

Where the money comes from

We link only to our advertising partner's curated category pages — not directly to issuer websites. When a reader clicks one of our links and completes a qualifying action, we may receive a commission. You never pay more for using our links.

Does this change what we write?

No. Earning a commission never changes our editorial view. Compensation may affect which categories we feature and where they appear, but we decide what to cover based on what people are searching for and what's genuinely useful to them. We explain this separation in our Editorial Policy.

Where else this is disclosed

Every article carries a short advertiser disclosure, and our full Advertiser Disclosure explains how compensation can affect how, where, and in what order offers appear. Our partners cannot pay us for favorable coverage, and we do not include every offer available in the marketplace.

A note on rates and terms

Rates, fees, rewards, and promotional terms are set by issuers and change frequently. Always review the issuer's current terms before applying, and see our Terms of Service for more.
