Share Guardian. Earn when your audience subscribes.
Earn $0.50 when a fan starts monthly, or $2 when they choose annual — first payment only. No upfront spend. Manual review keeps the program credible.
If you promote Guardian with a referral link, disclose your material connection (you may earn commission) clearly and conspicuously near your recommendation — for example: “I may earn a commission if you subscribe through my link.” See program terms and our Privacy Policy.

Common questions
How much do I earn?
$0.50 per new monthly subscriber and $2 per new annual subscriber — first payment only, after a paid checkout completes (not during a free trial).
How does tracking work?
30-day first-touch browser cookie after someone clicks your ?ref= link. We do not overwrite an existing cookie from another creator.
What if a fan clears cookies?
Attribution may not count if they pay without your active cookie. They need your link and a valid cookie when checkout completes.
When do I get paid?
On the last calendar day of each month at 12:00 PM Central, we transfer your balance via Stripe Connect when it is at least $5 and payout setup is complete.
What if I am under $5?
Your balance rolls to the next month. If you leave the program, any remaining balance is paid out per the program terms.
Can I refer myself?
No — purchases using the same email as your affiliate account do not earn commission.
How long does approval take?
Typically 1–2 business days after you submit a complete application.
Annual vs monthly referrals?
$2 for an annual first checkout, $0.50 for a monthly first checkout. Commission is credited on the first collected payment.
Why was my creator account removed?
We may pause or close a creator account at any time for program integrity — including inactivity (no paid conversions for three months), policy violations, or fraud risk. If your account is closed, remaining eligible balance is handled per the Affiliate Program Terms. Questions? Contact support.
