How we write these guides
Every guide is written and checked by the Affilia editorial team against primary sources: program terms pages, platform pricing pages, and regulators such as the US Federal Trade Commission. We update a guide when the facts it relies on change, and the date at the top of each one tells you when that last happened. Read the editorial policy for the details.
