Affiliate disclosure

PayTheBursar may earn a commission if you use a sponsored link that includes an affiliate code. The commission does not change which payment method we call cheapest. Sponsored modules are labeled "Sponsored" and "We may earn a commission," and they sit outside the fee table.

Partners the slots name

• Credible, for private student loan comparison.
• Splash Financial, for student-loan refinance.
• A credit-card slot. No issuer is linked until AFFILIATE_CARD_URL is set.
• GradGuard, for tuition insurance.

Until real affiliate IDs are added, the configured links are the companies' public pages or are left blank. A link without a tracking code does not pay a commission. The label stays on the module so the slot is obvious when a code is added later.

A loan, a refinance, a rewards card, and an insurance policy are not ways to avoid a bursar fee. The editorial pages say that directly. Read payment plans versus loans before you treat a sponsored offer as the way to pay this term.
