How we make money

Last updated: January 12, 2026

Keeping this site free and up to date costs money. Here's exactly how we fund it — and how we keep funding separate from the information we publish.

Our revenue sources

• Advertising. We may show display ads on some pages. Ads are clearly distinct from our content.
• Affiliate links. When we mention a product, we may use an affiliate link and earn a commission if you buy. We may earn revenue from advertising and affiliate links on this site (for example, ad networks or Amazon Associates). This never changes the rebate rules or amounts we describe. See our affiliate disclosure.

Our commitment

Compensation never changes the rebate rules, amounts, or eligibility we describe — those come from official programs, and we link to them. We label sample data, sponsored placements, and affiliate links so you always know what you're looking at.
