Summary: Some links on Sweepbase are affiliate links. If you click one and apply for or obtain a card, we may earn a commission from the issuer — at no extra cost to you. This does not influence which cards we list, how we rank them, or what we write about them. See below for the full details.
Sweepbase (sweepbase.net) maintains affiliate partnerships with a number of cryptocurrency card issuers and related financial service providers. These partnerships are commercial arrangements under which Sweepbase may receive a referral fee or commission when a user:
The exact commission structure varies by issuer and may be a fixed fee per approved application, a percentage of first-year spend, or another arrangement agreed with the issuer. Sweepbase does not charge users any fee for accessing the comparison service.
Affiliate links on Sweepbase are typically the "Visit Card" or "Apply Now" buttons on each card listing page and the corresponding call-to-action elements throughout the Site. When you click one of these links, your browser is redirected to the issuer's website via a tracking URL that allows the issuer (or an affiliate network acting on its behalf) to attribute the visit to Sweepbase.
Not every outbound link on Sweepbase is an affiliate link. Some links — for example, links to regulatory filings, news articles, or third-party research — are purely informational and carry no tracking parameter.
Sweepbase operates under a strict editorial independence policy. The existence or absence of an affiliate relationship with an issuer does not determine:
Cards are included and assessed based on publicly available information about their features, fees, reward structures, supported assets, custody model, and regional availability. We include cards that do not have affiliate programs alongside those that do.
If editorial content is sponsored or influenced by an issuer in any way, this will be clearly labelled as "Sponsored" or "Promoted" content. At the time of this writing, Sweepbase does not publish sponsored editorial content.
Nothing on Sweepbase — including card comparisons, ratings, editorial commentary, category pages, or this disclosure — constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. Sweepbase is a comparison and information service only.
Cryptocurrency debit and credit cards involve financial risk. Card terms, fees, supported assets, and availability change frequently. Always verify current information directly with the card issuer before applying, and consider consulting a qualified financial adviser if you are uncertain whether a particular product is appropriate for your circumstances.
In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 C.F.R. Part 255) and associated guidance on affiliate marketing, Sweepbase discloses its material connections to card issuers clearly and conspicuously.
Our disclosure is presented on this page, in our site footer on every page, and via summary notices on card listing pages. We believe this satisfies the FTC's requirement that affiliate relationships be disclosed in a "clear and conspicuous" manner that is unavoidable and understandable to the average reader.
Sweepbase does not receive free products, paid reviews, or guaranteed positive coverage from card issuers. Commissions are earned only on qualifying user actions as described in Section 1.
When you click an affiliate link, a tracking cookie or parameter is typically set by the issuer's affiliate network to attribute the referral. This tracking is subject to the issuer's own privacy policy and cookie notice, not Sweepbase's.
Sweepbase does not transmit your personal data to issuers or affiliate networks on your behalf. The affiliate tracking interaction is initiated by your browser upon clicking the link, at which point you are subject to the destination site's data processing practices. We recommend reviewing the issuer's privacy policy before submitting an application.
For information about how Sweepbase itself processes data (including analytics cookies), see our Privacy Policy.
While we strive to keep all card data accurate and current, affiliate commissions are not contingent on presenting any issuer's card in a favourable light. Our data is sourced from publicly available issuer documentation, terms and conditions pages, and direct issuer communications. Errors or outdated information may exist; always verify with the issuer directly.
If you notice inaccurate information about any card on Sweepbase, please contact us at contact@sweepbase.net and we will investigate and correct it promptly.
If you have any questions about our affiliate relationships, editorial policies, or this disclosure, please reach out at contact@sweepbase.net. We are committed to transparency and will respond to all enquiries.
