PAYCHECKCITIES.COM AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE

Last updated: June 1, 2026

THE SHORT VERSION

Some links on PaycheckCities.com are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase or sign up for a service, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only link to services we believe are genuinely useful to people researching a move. Our city rankings, affordability data, and editorial content are never influenced by affiliate relationships.

THE FULL DISCLOSURE

PaycheckCities.com participates in affiliate marketing programs. In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s guidelines (16 CFR Part 255), we are required to disclose when we have a financial relationship with companies whose products or services we link to.

WHAT IS AN AFFILIATE LINK?

An affiliate link is a specially tracked URL that tells a company’s affiliate program that a visitor came from our site. When you click an affiliate link on PaycheckCities.com and complete a qualifying action — such as requesting a mortgage quote, booking a moving service, or signing up for a service — we may receive a commission or referral fee from that company.

You pay the same price whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the company’s website. Affiliate commissions come from the company’s marketing budget, not from your pocket.

OUR CURRENT AFFILIATE RELATIONSHIPS

PaycheckCities.com currently has or is in the process of establishing affiliate relationships with the following companies:

LendingTree
We may link to LendingTree for mortgage rate comparisons and home loan quotes. LendingTree is a lending marketplace that connects borrowers with lenders. If you request a quote through our link, we may receive a commission.

PODS Moving and Storage
We may link to PODS for moving and storage quotes. PODS provides portable moving containers for local and long-distance moves. If you request a quote through our link, we may receive a referral fee.

U-Pack Moving Services
We may link to U-Pack for moving quotes. U-Pack provides long-distance moving services using moving trailers and ReloCubes. If you request a quote through our link, we may receive a referral fee.

CJ Affiliate Network
We participate in affiliate programs through the CJ Affiliate network, which may connect us with additional partner companies over time. Any affiliate relationships established through CJ Affiliate will be covered by this disclosure.

We will update this page as new affiliate relationships are established.

HOW AFFILIATE INCOME AFFECTS OUR CONTENT

It does not. Our city rankings, affordability analysis, monthly budget calculations, and editorial recommendations are based entirely on publicly available data and our own research methodology. We do not:

  • Accept payment to rank any city higher or lower than our data supports
  • Accept payment to include or exclude any city from our guides
  • Alter our analysis or conclusions based on affiliate relationships
  • Accept sponsored content disguised as editorial content
  • Allow affiliate partners to review or approve our content before publication

The only place affiliate relationships appear on PaycheckCities.com is in clearly labeled affiliate banners and buttons within our articles and tools. These are visually distinct from our editorial content and are labeled accordingly.

Affiliate income helps us keep PaycheckCities.com free for readers and allows us to continue producing independent research, data analysis, and city guides without charging a subscription fee.

WHERE YOU WILL SEE AFFILIATE LINKS

Affiliate links on PaycheckCities.com appear in:

  • Mortgage rate comparison buttons (LendingTree)
  • Moving quote buttons (PODS, U-Pack)
  • Clearly marked sponsor banners within articles
  • Tool result pages where relevant services are suggested

All affiliate links and banners are clearly identifiable. We do not embed affiliate links within editorial text or disguise them as organic content recommendations.

YOUR CHOICES

You are never required to use our affiliate links. You can always go directly to any company’s website to request quotes or sign up for services. Using or not using our affiliate links has no effect on the information or tools available to you on PaycheckCities.com.

If you prefer not to support us through affiliate commissions, you can still use our site freely. We appreciate your readership regardless.
