Affiliate Disclosure
CashBackBunny is a reader-supported site. Some links are affiliate links — if you apply and are approved, we may earn a commission from the issuer. You pay the same price. Issuers control all approval decisions and product terms.
Summary
Plain language: If you use our links, we may earn a commission. You pay the same price. We do not sell rankings or placements. Issuers decide whether you are approved. Always verify current terms with the issuer before applying.
"CashBackBunny," "we," "our," and "us" refer to CashBackBunny LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company. This page explains how affiliate relationships work on this site and how we maintain editorial standards alongside them.
We align our disclosure practices with guidance from the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) on material connections, endorsements, and digital advertising disclosures.
How we make money
CashBackBunny may receive compensation when you click certain links on this site and take a qualifying action — such as submitting a credit card application or being approved for a product. Compensation is typically paid by the financial institution or through an affiliate network. It does not come from you and does not affect your APR, fees, or product terms.
We may also display advertising served through third-party networks. Advertising placements are separate from editorial content and do not influence card rankings or scores.
- Influence which cards we feature on a given page
- Influence the order of similarly-rated cards within a tier
- Determine whether we cover a card at all
- Change a card's editorial score or rating
- Move a card into a category it does not qualify for
- Suppress a competitor that scores higher
- Cause us to omit a material fee, restriction, or tradeoff
What is an affiliate link
An affiliate link is a standard hyperlink that includes a tracking identifier. When you click the link and complete a qualifying action — typically a submitted or approved credit card application — a referral commission may be attributed to CashBackBunny LLC by the issuer or affiliate network.
Affiliate links can appear in comparison tables, top picks sections, "Apply Now" buttons, and within educational guides. The destination URL is always the issuer's official website — we do not intermediate the application process or collect personal or financial data from applicants.
Editorial independence
Editorial decisions at CashBackBunny are made independently of revenue decisions. We do not accept payment for positive coverage, sponsored rankings, or "best card" placements. Our scoring methodology is documented, consistent, and applied across all categories regardless of affiliate relationship.
Cards without affiliate programs are included on this site when they represent genuine value for a specific use case. Current examples include the Alliant Cashback Visa and the Discover it Student — both recommended despite no or minimal affiliate relationship with CashBackBunny.
- Evaluation criteria are published on our methodology page and applied consistently.
- Every recommendation includes an explicit "who should skip this" — tradeoffs are stated before the apply button, not buried below it.
- Pages are updated when offers, fees, or earn structures change materially.
- We use conservative point valuations — not best-case scenarios designed to make a card look more valuable than it is.
Rankings and comparisons
Card rankings on CashBackBunny are based on net rewards value, earn structure, annual fee math, welcome bonus attainability, redemption quality, and fit for a defined spending profile. These criteria are documented on our methodology page.
Compensation may influence which tier a card appears in when multiple cards score similarly. It does not override the scoring criteria or create a ranking that conflicts with our editorial assessment.
Coverage limitations
CashBackBunny does not cover every credit card available in the U.S. market. Our coverage is limited to cards that are widely available to U.S. consumers and that we can verify and update from primary sources.
- Some issuers do not operate affiliate programs — their cards may still appear on this site when warranted by merit.
- Offer terms can vary by applicant, credit profile, and region. Targeted or pre-approved offers may differ from published rates.
- We may not list every card from every issuer or every variation of a product.
- Absence of a card from our site does not mean it is a poor product — it may simply be outside our current coverage scope.
Offers and terms change
Credit card offers change frequently and without notice — including welcome bonuses, annual fees, APR ranges, earn rates, benefit structures, and eligibility requirements. We update pages when we become aware of material changes, but we cannot guarantee that all information is current at all times.
Always verify the current terms directly on the issuer's official website before submitting an application. The issuer's published terms are the only authoritative source.
Tracking and cookies
CashBackBunny itself does not currently use advertising trackers, behavioral analytics, or user profiling tools. We use Google Search Console for aggregate search performance monitoring only — no personal user data is collected or stored through this tool.
When you click an affiliate link and visit an issuer's website, that issuer or its affiliate network may set cookies or use other tracking technologies to measure the referral, attribute commissions, and prevent fraud. These tracking tools operate under the issuer's or network's own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.
If our data practices change in the future, we will update our Privacy Policy and this page accordingly.
How we disclose on individual pages
Pages on CashBackBunny that contain affiliate links include a disclosure near the top of the page or adjacent to comparison tables. The disclosure states that links may be affiliate links and that we may earn compensation if you apply and are approved.
We aim to make disclosures easy to notice and easy to understand — not buried in fine print or hidden below the fold. The standard disclosure used across card pages reads:
"Some links on this page may be affiliate links. If you apply through them, CashBackBunny LLC may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Recommendations are based on merit. Always verify current terms on the issuer's website before applying."
Regulatory references
Our disclosure practices are designed to align with U.S. Federal Trade Commission guidance on material connections and digital advertising transparency.
