Affiliate networks: 391 programmes across 7 networks

Most "best affiliate network" round-ups rank networks the writer never joined. This one is narrower and checkable: an inventory of what our directory of 731 high-ticket programmes actually records about each network, with every record marked confirmed or inferred.

391 of those 731 listings name a network. 251 name it on the programme's own page, URL or feature list — that is the part we can stand behind. The other 140 are inferred from where the record sits in our source data and are not confirmed with the network. We keep the two apart because a directory that hides the difference cannot be checked by anyone, and experienced affiliates notice that immediately.

The remaining 340 listings name no network at all. We left them that way instead of filling the gap with a guess.

What our records say, network by network

Every number here is counted from the data when the page is built, not typed in. "Confirmed" means the programme's own page, URL or feature list names the network. "Inferred" means our source data placed the record there and nothing else corroborates it — treat those as leads to check, not as facts.

Where a record names two networks and does not say which, we list the pair (ShareASale / Awin, CJ Affiliate / Rakuten) rather than guessing. That is why those rows read as one label.

What this page does not claim

We do not publish approval odds, payout thresholds, minimum traffic requirements or commission terms for CJ Affiliate, Impact.com, Rakuten Advertising, PartnerStack, ShareASale / Awin, CJ Affiliate / Rakuten. We are not inside those networks and we have no first-party source for it. A number we cannot check is worse than no number, because it travels with our name attached to it.

We also do not rank them against each other. An honest ranking needs exactly the terms in the paragraph above, and we do not have them.

What we can do is show you our records, mark our own uncertainty, and be specific about the one network where we are on the inside.

The one network we are inside: Travelpayouts

We are a Travelpayouts partner. 29 of the 69 programmes on this site that carry a real, working tracking link are Travelpayouts brands, which is why this is the only network here we can describe from our own account instead of from a press page.

Referring one partner is worth up to $600 to us, paid in three steps: $100 once they have earned and been paid $500, $200 once they have earned and been paid $1,500, $300 once they have earned and been paid $3,000. They can earn up to $100 on the same principle: $25 when they turn Drive on and earn their first $50, $25 when they earn their first $100, $50 when they reach $1,000 earned.

Nothing is paid for signing up. Every step is credited to your balance after your referral reaches the required earning milestone and successfully receives a payout for that amount, so the first $100 only exists once someone has built $500 of real, paid-out earnings.

We have not been credited for any of those milestones. So what you are reading is the terms, not a result — and the terms are the part that stays true whoever is reading them.

Travelpayouts states the condition this way:

Travelpayouts publishes these terms on its own referral programme page (checked 2026-08-28).

This is a referral link. If you join Travelpayouts through it we are recorded as the referrer, and both sides can earn the milestone credits listed above. It costs you nothing and it does not change your commission rates.
