Advertising Disclosure
Last updated: February 2026
Prince of Travel is an independent publication. We are committed to transparency about how we earn revenue and how it may affect the content we produce. This disclosure is provided in compliance with Canada's Competition Act and the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides.
How We Earn Revenue
Prince of Travel earns revenue through three primary channels:
-
Credit card affiliate partnerships: When you apply for a credit card through one of our links and are approved, we may receive a commission from the card issuer. This commission comes from the issuer – it does not cost you anything extra, and it does not affect the card's terms, welcome bonus, or annual fee.
-
Membership products: We sell Prince of Travel Memberships, which provide access to exclusive tools, content, and personalized guidance.
-
Display advertising: Non-member visitors see display ads served by Mediavine. Members browse ad-free.
Affiliate Link Disclosure
Links to credit card applications on this site may be affiliate links. We identify these with a disclosure notice near the link. Commission amounts vary by card issuer and product. Some cards pay higher commissions than others, and some cards we recommend pay no commission at all.
When we include an affiliate link, the presence or absence of a commission does not determine our recommendation. We frequently recommend cards that earn us no commission, and we will tell you when a non-affiliate option is the better choice.
Editorial Independence
Our editorial process is separate from our business relationships:
-
Same analysis regardless of affiliation: Every credit card review follows the same methodology – annual fee analysis, earn rate comparison, welcome bonus valuation, and strategic fit – whether or not we have an affiliate relationship with the issuer.
-
Best option wins: If a card without an affiliate relationship is the better choice for a reader's situation, we will recommend it over one that pays us a commission.
-
Advisor independence: Ask Prince of Travel makes recommendations based on your stated needs and our knowledge base. It does not factor in commission rates when suggesting cards or programs.
-
Recommendations we don't earn from: We regularly recommend loyalty program strategies, credit card churning techniques, and booking methods that generate no revenue for us.
Hotel Booking Disclosure
Prince Collection is our hotel booking service. When you book through Prince Collection, the hotel pays us a commission or provides the complimentary benefits (upgrades, breakfast, credits) through our partnership agreements. This does not increase the room rate – you pay the best publicly available rate.
