Affiliate Disclosure

How we may earn compensation when you apply for credit cards through cashew.

Last updatedMarch 2026

Affiliate disclosure

cashew may earn a referral fee when you apply for a recommended credit card and are approved. We partner with card issuers and affiliate networks (e.g. CardRatings, affiliate programs run by issuers) to offer comparison and application links.

Our recommendations are not paid placements. Card rankings and "which card" suggestions are based on wallet score improvement and category fit, not commission rate. A card without an affiliate relationship will still be recommended if it is the right fit for your wallet.

We disclose affiliate relationships inline where relevant (e.g. on recommendation surfaces). By using cashew, you acknowledge that we may receive compensation when you apply for cards through our links.

FTC compliance

We comply with FTC guidelines on endorsements and testimonials. Our affiliate relationships are disclosed in a clear and conspicuous manner.
