The short version: StackEasy earns money three ways: our subscription product, affiliate partnerships, and travel booking links. Our recommendations are not for sale, and partners never influence our rankings. When an article contains affiliate links, we say so on that article.
1. The StackEasy Subscription
Our core business is the StackEasy app, a paid subscription that helps people manage multiple credit cards: APR deadlines, utilization, rewards, and payment timing in one place. Subscription revenue comes directly from users, not advertisers, and it is the reason we can keep editorial content reader-first.
2. Affiliate Partnerships
Some articles contain affiliate links to partner products, such as credit cards, credit repair services, or financial tools. If you click one of those links and sign up or are approved, StackEasy may receive a commission from the partner. This costs you nothing extra.
In line with FTC endorsement guidelines, affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed in the articles that contain them. If a page has affiliate links, you will see a disclosure on that page.
3. Travel Booking Links
Some of our travel and points content includes booking links for flights and hotels. If you book travel through one of those links, we may earn a commission from the booking platform. The price you pay is the same either way.
What Compensation Never Changes
- Recommendations are not for sale. No partner can buy a rating, a ranking, or a recommendation.
- Partners never influence rankings. A product that pays us more does not rank higher. A product that pays us nothing still gets covered when it is the better choice for readers.
- No pre-publication review. Advertisers and partners do not see, edit, or approve content before it goes live.
How we research and correct content is documented in our Editorial Policy.
A Note on Rates and Terms
Card terms, fees, and offers can change after we publish. We update articles on a regular cadence, but always confirm current terms on the issuer's website before applying.
