Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: 4 June 2026.

The short version

Most of the Sign Up buttons on CCC use a referral or affiliate link. When you sign up for a card through one of these links, the card issuer may pay us a commission. You don't pay extra; the cost (if any) to the issuer for our introduction is built into their own program. We only earn anything if you actually sign up — but the existence of a commission could still influence which cards we cover and how. We try to make that influence small and disclose it openly here.

Which cards have referral relationships

As of the last update, CCC uses referral or affiliate links for the following cards on the home comparison:

• ether.fi Cash — referral link.
• Tria — referral link.
• Other cards — links currently point to the official App Store / Google Play pages of the card's app rather than a tracked referral URL, so no commission is earned on those clicks today. We may add referral relationships over time and will update this page when we do.

The Plasma One sign-up flow emails the invitation code we receive from the Plasma One team. We don't earn a per-signup commission on this card — it's included on CCC because it's relevant to readers comparing crypto cards.

How a commission could influence what you see

This is the bit most affiliate sites bury, so we'll be explicit:

• We chose to cover the cards we cover based on what we think is interesting to a reader comparing the market, not based on which ones pay us. Several cards we include (RedotPay, Ready, Nexo, KAST) have either no referral relationship with CCC today or one we haven't activated.
• We don't change the data we publish based on whether a card pays us. FX fees, cashback rates, annual fees, supported currencies, pros and cons — these are what the issuer publishes, plus our own assessment. A commission doesn't move a number.
• We don't write fake reviews. Every "review" sentence on a card detail page reflects what we'd say if we were paid nothing.
• What a commission can influence is which cards get added next, how prominently a card appears in the "Editor's pick" wizard, and how much detail goes into a given card's page. We try to keep those influences modest, but they're real, and you should weigh them when reading our recommendations.

You always have a non-referral option

You're never obliged to sign up via our link. If you'd prefer not to give us a commission, you can:

• Search the card issuer's name directly in your browser and visit their site without going through us.
• Open the App Store or Google Play and search for the app.
• Use the card issuer's own marketing channels (their X account, their website's homepage, etc.).

This page exists so that "going through CCC" is a deliberate choice you make, not a hidden default.
