Affiliate Disclosure — Credit Score Mastery
Last updated: June 2026
Credit Score Mastery is a free educational website supported by advertising and affiliate partnerships. This page explains how those relationships work and how they affect (and don’t affect) our content.
What Is an Affiliate Link?
An affiliate link is a tracked link to a third-party product or service. When you click an affiliate link on our site and complete an action (such as signing up for a credit monitoring service or applying for a credit card), we may earn a commission from the company at no additional cost to you.
Who We Partner With
We maintain affiliate relationships with companies in the personal finance space, including but not limited to credit monitoring services, secured credit card providers, personal loan platforms, and credit repair services.
We only include affiliate links for products and services we believe are genuinely useful to our readers. We do not accept payment to feature, rank, or recommend any product.
How Affiliate Relationships Affect Our Content
They don’t affect our editorial content. Our articles, guides, and tool recommendations are based on research and reader value — not on which companies pay the highest commissions.
When an article contains affiliate links, we disclose this clearly at the top of that article with a statement such as: “This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a commission if you sign up through our links, at no cost to you.”
FTC Compliance
This disclosure is made in compliance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to transparency in all affiliate relationships.
