Snapshot

What the current dataset says

The directory contains more recurring programs than one-time programs, but cookie transparency is uneven. 22 programs publish a cookie window of at least 60 days, while 18 do not state a window in the recorded public source.

Highest percentage mentioned in recorded terms

Ranges use their highest stated percentage. Flat-dollar bounties are excluded because pretending dollars and percentages are the same unit would be ambitious nonsense.

Limitations

This is decision support, not an earnings promise.

  • Rates, eligibility, cookies, and payout rules can change without notice.
  • Public program pages often omit acceptance criteria, reversal rates, conversion data, and effective earnings per click.
  • “Lifetime” normally means while the referred customer remains eligible and paying, not while the sun continues its administrative duties.
  • Use the cited vendor source and your signed agreement as the final authority.
