Advertising & Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about how we make money and how we keep it separate from our editorial judgment.

Last reviewed:

TheSavvyAmericans.com is a free resource. To keep it free, we earn revenue through advertising and affiliate partnerships. This page explains exactly how that works.

How we make money

We may receive compensation when you click certain links, apply for a product, or open an account through our site. This may include credit cards, bank accounts, loans, insurance, investing platforms and other financial products. Some links are affiliate links, meaning a partner pays us a referral fee at no additional cost to you.

How compensation affects our content

Compensation does not automatically determine our rankings, ratings or verdicts. We evaluate products using a documented methodology, and our editorial team works independently of our business partnerships. We may not cover every product or provider available in the market, and the offers we feature can change.

Sponsored content

If any content is sponsored or a placement is paid, we label it clearly so you can tell the difference between editorial recommendations and paid promotion.

Always verify current terms

Rates, fees, bonuses and eligibility requirements change frequently and can vary by individual. We work to keep information current, but you should always confirm the latest terms on the provider’s official page before you apply or open an account.
