Pros and cons
Revolut
Pros
- A listed payout of £5 makes earnings easy to forecast
- Cookie window of 30 days matches the site median of 30
- Runs on Impact and Rakuten
Cons
- Recurring commission: no, so each referral pays once only
- Listed payout of £5 sits under the finance median of €43.85
- Cookie window of 30 days places at 39 of 129
Uphold Card
Pros
- A 90 day window outlasts the 30 day norm in the crypto group, so readers can take their time.
- Fees of $9 per signup, $45 per FT cover the signup step and the funded trade, so deep guides have something to earn on at each stage.
- It runs on FlexOffers, Impact and FinanceAds, so one approved offer can be placed in more than one place.
Cons
- Recurring commission is no, so a subscriber who stays for years is worth what a first-month account is worth.
- One payment of $45 per funded trade leaves the ongoing upside with the advertiser, where Admitad pays 5% per sale.
- Support runs on help centre only, so a stuck payout depends on written guidance rather than a person.
Who each suits
Revolut
Who it suits
- Publishers comparing card sign up offers in the banking, investing and crypto space
- Networks and teams already working on Impact and Rakuten
- Anyone happy with a single payment per referral
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a lead payout, since Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission
- Business banking publishers who may earn more with Qonto, which runs CPA per registration plus KYB bonus
- Publishers wanting a revenue share model, since Admitad runs 5% per sale and Revolut pays cpa
Uphold Card
Who it suits
- Publishers whose audience already reads crypto wallet and card comparisons before signing up.
- Anyone active on FlexOffers, Impact and FinanceAds who wants the same offer running in more than one place.
- Review sites where the funded trade happens long after the first visit, which a 90 day window can absorb.
Who should look elsewhere
- Publishers who need monthly repeat income, since recurring commission is no, while Mintos runs Hybrid lead and CPA commission.
- Anyone who would rather earn a share of each sale, as Admitad does with 5% per sale.
- Publishers who want a second payment trigger at registration, since Qonto lists CPA per registration plus KYB bonus against fees of $9 per signup, $45 per FT here.

Questions about each
Revolut
How much does Revolut pay per referral?+
Terms are CPA up to £500 per referral, and the listed payout figure is £5. The model is cpa, so payment follows a signup rather than a share of later spending. Payouts run monthly on 30-day terms.
How long is the Revolut cookie window?+
The cookie window is 30 days, which is the same as the 30 site median. Among brands compared on the site it places at 39 of 129. Publishers with longer windows to sell may prefer other options.
Uphold Card
How much does Uphold Card pay per referral?+
Fees run $9 per signup, $45 per FT, so a signup earns one amount and a funded trade earns more. The programme pays on CPA terms, which means a single payment per approved referral rather than a share of what that customer spends afterwards. Nothing repeats, so earnings depend on bringing new funded accounts in each month.
How long does the cookie window last?+
The window is 90 days, which sits above the 30 day norm across the crypto group. That gap matters for anyone whose audience reads several reviews before opening a wallet. It is long by affiliate standards, though shorter than the 365 day high seen across the site.
