- Cost Per Acquisition (CPA): A flat fee when you complete a specific action
- Revenue Share: A percentage of the purchase amount
- Cost Per Click (CPC): A small fee for each click on the link
- Cost Per Lead (CPL): A fee when you provide contact information or request information
Sponsored Content
We may occasionally publish sponsored content or featured partners. All sponsored content will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored," "Partnered," or "Advertisement."
Display Advertising
We may display advertisements from ad networks. These ads may be targeted based on your browsing behavior and interests, subject to our Privacy Policy and your privacy settings.
Our Commitment to You
Integrity First
We are committed to maintaining your trust and providing honest, valuable recommendations. Here's our promise:
No Influence on Calculations
Our military benefit calculations, career comparisons, and educational tools are completely independent and are never influenced by affiliate relationships. The data and formulas we use are based on official government sources.
Honest Recommendations
We only recommend products and services that we believe will genuinely benefit military members, veterans, and their families. We do not recommend services solely because they offer higher commissions.
Transparent Labeling
All affiliate links, sponsored content, and advertisements are clearly labeled. You will always know when content may result in compensation to MilFlex.
Personal Experience
Whenever possible, our recommendations are based on personal experience, thorough research, and feedback from the military community. We test and evaluate services before recommending them.
No Extra Cost to You
Using our affiliate links never increases your cost. In many cases, we negotiate special discounts or bonuses exclusively for MilFlex users.
Alternative Options
We strive to present multiple options, including both affiliate and non-affiliate alternatives, so you can make informed decisions based on your needs.
