Affinityy (our referral link here and below) is a shopping portal that recently reached out to us because they thought our readers would be interested in the fact they offer cash back for credit card approvals. More on that later.

Sign Up Bonuses
- New users will receive $20 after their first purchase
- After signing up I received an additional $2 for completing a short survey (about 5 multiple choice questions) and a further $3 for adding the Affinityy button to my browser
Referral Program
Affinityy offers a referral program. When you refer a friend they will receive a $20 bonus after their first purchase. In addition you can earn up to $25. Break down is as follows:
- Earn $5 when your friend earns $5 in cash back
- Earn $5 when your friends makes their first premium purchase of $250+
- Earn $15 when your friend signs up and gets approved for a credit card

Payout
You can either receive your earnings from Paypal (e-mail address must match the e-mail you used to sign up) or via check. There is a $50 minimum cash out.
Credit Card Cash Back
Affinityy is offering $30 when you apply and are approved for personal credit cards found on their site and $50 for business cards. They don’t have direct links to individual cards, instead they have links to different categories on creditcards.com (e.g best sign up bonuses). You won’t be able to find all of the card bonuses you want, but you should be able to find most of them. As always make sure you do research to ensure that using the links Affinityy is offering offers the best sign up bonuses.
My understanding has always been that this type of incentive is not allowed, but Affinityy has confirmed with creditcards.com that they are compliant and recently we’ve seen more sites doing something similar (e.g Slickdeals and Credit Karma). Affinityy has also been paying out regularly now, so it seems there is no issue here.
Regular Portal
Affinityy also operates a regular shopping portal similar to Topcashback. It looks like they offer increased cash back when your purchase is above $250. They don’t look super competitive compared to other portals, I’d always recommend comparing using a site such as cashbackmonitor to make sure you’re getting the best deal.
Final Thoughts
If things go well and Affinityy does work for $50 cash back on credit card applications then this is going to be an easy extra $50 for most people on most applications. It’s just important to make sure when applying you’re getting the best deal as these types of affiliate links don’t always display the best offers. One of the things I love about not having credit card affiliate links is the fact that I can present the best offers with no bias or perception of bias.
