Get Featured on CryptoCardScout

Quick answer: There are two honest ways to get featured on CryptoCardScout. Earned coverage — reviews, comparisons and mentions — is decided by our editorial team on merit and cannot be bought. The paid alternative is clearly labelled sponsored content. We keep the two separate and never disguise one as the other. Tell us about your product.

Key takeaways

• Earned coverage: free, merit-based, and never for sale.
• Paid alternative: clearly labelled sponsored content.
• Pitch well: give us verifiable facts, not hype.
• No pay-to-play: paying us does not buy an editorial mention or a better score.
• Not advice: our coverage is informational, not financial advice.

Two honest routes to being featured

Brands often ask how to appear on CryptoCardScout. We are deliberately clear about it. You can earn coverage by having a product or story our readers should know about, or you can pay for a labelled sponsored placement. What you cannot do is pay to appear inside our independent reviews or comparisons — that would break the trust those pieces depend on, and we do not sell undisclosed or disguised placements. Keeping these two routes visibly separate is not a limitation we apologise for; it is the reason a mention on CryptoCardScout means something to the reader in the first place.

How earned coverage works

Our editorial team decides what to review and cover based on relevance to readers comparing crypto cards and payment products. We consider what is new, what is genuinely useful, and what our audience is asking about. We do not accept payment for inclusion, and a pitch that tries to buy its way in tells us less than one that simply presents a strong, verifiable product.

How to pitch for earned coverage

1. Introduce the product — what it is, who it is for, and what is genuinely new.
2. Share verifiable facts — fees, features, availability, and access for testing where possible.
3. Explain reader value — why our audience should care.
4. Send it via our contact page and let our team assess it.

What makes a strong pitch

• A specific, newsworthy angle rather than a generic brand overview.
• Accurate, checkable details we can verify independently.
• Access to try the product where relevant.
• Honesty about limitations — it builds credibility.
• No guaranteed-return or price-prediction claims, which we decline.

The paid alternative: sponsored content

If your priority is guaranteed publication and control of the message, the honest option is sponsored content — a clearly labelled branded article. It sits alongside our editorial but is always marked as paid, in line with the FTC guidelines. You can also build awareness with advertising or announce timely news with a press release.

How we handle reviews

When we review a crypto card or payment product, our verdict reflects our own testing and research. We disclose any affiliate relationships, we do not let commercial ties change a score, and we correct errors when we find them. Reviews are informational and are not financial advice or a recommendation to buy any asset.

What being featured will not do

• It will not guarantee a positive verdict — earned coverage is honest.
• It will not move a product up an independent comparison for payment.
• It will not include hidden or disguised paid links.

Timelines and what to expect

Earned coverage runs on editorial timelines, not marketing deadlines. Our team reviews pitches as capacity allows and prioritises what is most relevant and useful to readers, so we cannot promise a publication date, or publication at all, for a free pitch. If your announcement is time-sensitive — a launch on a fixed date, for example — the reliable route is a clearly labelled press release or sponsored content, where timing is agreed in advance. When we do pursue earned coverage, we may ask follow-up questions, request access to test the product, and take the time needed to assess it properly. That process is what makes our coverage worth earning.

After you are featured

If we publish independent coverage, it reflects our genuine assessment at the time of writing. We are happy to hear from brands who spot a factual error, and we correct mistakes when they are verified. What we will not do is change a verdict, remove fair criticism, or add promotional links in exchange for payment or pressure. Our coverage stays ours.
