How We Make Money
CreditCompareHQ is an affiliate marketing website. We earn commissions when visitors click on affiliate links on our site and subsequently sign up for or purchase products or services from our partner companies.
This means that when you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may receive a commission from the company at no additional cost to you.
Our Affiliate Partners
We currently have affiliate relationships with the following credit monitoring and identity protection services:
- • SmartCredit
- • IdentityIQ
- • MyScoreIQ
When you click on links to these services and sign up, we may earn a commission.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial content is created independently and is not influenced by our affiliate relationships. Our reviews, ratings, and recommendations are based on our editorial team's assessment of each service.
We evaluate all services using the same criteria, regardless of whether we have an affiliate relationship with them. Our goal is to provide honest, helpful information to help you make informed decisions.
The compensation we receive does not affect:
- • Our editorial ratings or scores
- • The order in which products appear (unless specifically noted)
- • Our recommendations or conclusions
- • The content of our reviews
How to Identify Affiliate Links
Links that may earn us a commission are typically:
- • Buttons labeled "Check Offer," "Visit Site," or similar
- • Links that take you directly to a product's website
- • Links in comparison tables that lead to product pages
We strive to be transparent about our affiliate relationships. If you're ever unsure whether a link is an affiliate link, you can assume that links to the products we review may be affiliate links.
No Additional Cost to You
Using our affiliate links does not cost you anything extra. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to the company's website. In some cases, our affiliate partners may offer special promotions or pricing through our links.
Why We Use Affiliate Links
Affiliate commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing free educational content, reviews, and comparisons. Without this revenue, we would not be able to maintain and improve our site.
We appreciate your support when you choose to use our affiliate links. However, we encourage you to make decisions based on what's best for your individual situation, not on our affiliate relationships.
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on affiliate marketing and endorsements. We are committed to transparency and compliance with all applicable regulations.
