Affiliate Disclosure

How The Champagne Mile makes money

The Champagne Mile is a reader-supported website that provides independent insights on frequent flyer programs, credit cards, and travel rewards. We earn revenue primarily through affiliate partnerships, which means we may receive a commission when readers apply for or purchase certain products or services through links placed on site.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions, rankings, or reviews. We remain committed to providing transparent, accurate, and well-researched content to help readers make informed choices.

Our approach to transparency

  • Affiliate links are clearly disclosed within relevant content.
  • We never promote products purely for commission purposes. We feature offers that provide real value to our readers.
  • We do not sell personal data. Your privacy and trust are paramount.

How our affiliate model works

We primarily earn revenue through:

  • Credit and charge card & financial services partnerships: We may earn a commission when you apply for a rewards credit or charge card through links on our site. Some partners pay per application, while others pay upon approval. The commission we receive for credit and charge card referrals typically ranges from $30 to $430 per successful referral, depending on the advertiser and the product type and other factors.
  • Travel & lifestyle affiliates: We may receive a commission for links housed on site that direct readers to offers run by partners including airlines, hotels, survey companies and other advertisers.
  • Sponsored collaborations: We sometimes work with brands to create paid written or multimedia content. Where is sponsored and created in partnership with an advertising partner, this is clearly disclosed on the post or multimedia asset.

Our goal is to provide unbiased, research-driven recommendations while sustaining the website through carefully selected commercial partnerships.

What happens after you click an outbound link?

When you click on an outbound affiliate or tracking link on The Champagne Mile and visit an advertiser’s website, we do not have access to any personal information you may enter on their site.

  • No tracking beyond the click: We do not track, collect or have access to any personal data you may provide when applying for a product, making a purchase or taking out a service after clicking on an external link from our website. Advertisers may provide us with anonymous, non-personal tracking data (e.g. click-through activity linked to IP address and browser type). This information is not linked to any personal data and is used only for reporting purposes.
  • No involvement in approvals or disputes: If you apply for a credit or charge card, make a booking, or engage with a product or service after clicking an external link on our site, any questions or issues must be handled directly with the provider.

For any concerns about a product or service, please contact the provider directly. The Champagne Mile cannot assist with applications, approvals, or customer support for third-party products and services.
