How Card Match may get paid.
Some apply buttons may use referral links. If you apply through one, Card Match may receive a fee from the provider at no additional cost to you.
Fit determines ranking
Recommendation order is based on eligibility and match score—not referral payout. A card does not rank higher because it has a commercial program.
Referral links are labeled
When an apply button uses a referral link, the card result includes a short disclosure. Some recommended cards may have no referral program at all.
Sponsored placements
If sponsored placements are added later, they will be clearly labeled and kept separate from the organic recommendation ranking.
