Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: February 15, 2026

We may be compensated when you click on a link, when an application is approved, or when an account is opened from one or more of our advertising partners. Terms apply to the offers listed on this site. See below for more about our partners, how we make money, and our rating methodology. Opinions and recommendations are ours alone.

How We Earn Revenue

Wanderly is an independently operated travel editorial platform. Some of the links on our site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission when you click through and complete a qualifying action — such as applying for a credit card, booking a hotel, or purchasing a product.

This commission comes at no additional cost to you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the provider.

Our Affiliate Partners

We participate in affiliate programs including, but not limited to:

CJ Affiliate — Credit card offers from Chase, American Express, Capital One, and other major issuers.

Bankrate Credit Card Network — Credit card comparison tools and offers from leading U.S. financial institutions.

seats.aero — Award flight search and availability tools.

This list may be updated as we add or change affiliate partnerships.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial content. We write honestly about products and services regardless of whether we earn a commission. When we recommend a credit card, hotel, or travel product, it is because we genuinely believe it provides value to our readers — not because of compensation.

We clearly identify affiliate content. Articles containing affiliate links include a disclosure notice near the top of the page.

Why We Use Affiliate Links

Affiliate commissions help fund the creation of free travel guides, credit card strategy articles, and editorial content on Wanderly. This revenue allows us to operate without paywalls or intrusive advertising, keeping the reading experience clean and focused.

FTC Compliance

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships. This page serves as a comprehensive disclosure statement for all affiliate links across the Site.
