I read somewhere that the average cruise (ticket only) was $1200-$1500 pp. So $50-$60 per person booking would be my guess. Maybe that was on Caribbean cruises many of which are shorter and cheaper than other types.
Credit car referrals earn $100 - $300+ per sign-up.
BUT you have to truly be a titan to get cc affiliate $. Just about anyone can get a cruise affiliate link.
Now compare that to an Amazon affiliate link, some of which are down to1%

I've never been on one, but that appears to be a good range for a COUPLE (do people go on cruises alone!?).
Some people pay $10k+ for cruises. 4% of that isn't so bad, but I assume that the market for people willing to spend $0-$700 for a bank card fee is much bigger and less capped in the US than the market of Americans willing to pay $10k+ for a cruise in a year.
Sure. But, again, getting that cc affiliate link ain't easy! Never was, but now it's even more exclusive. And you have to make your quota on a consistent basis or you lose it.
To summarize: low barrier of entry and decent commissions = flooded crise affiliate content market.
And now ChatGPT does all the content creation for you!!!!
