Balance Transfer Day, the Facebook movement aimed at convincingconsumers to move higher interest rate credit card balances tolower interest rate credit cards, is facing complaints fromsupporters after one of the site's founders has been found to havelinks to websites that make money from consumers opening new creditcard accounts.

Media outlets have reported that Michael Germanovsky, theoriginator of the Balance Transfer Day site, is an editor andwriter at CreditLand.com and BestCreditOffers.com, two websitesthat make money from advertising aimed at getting consumers to opennew credit card accounts.

BalanceTransfer Day acknowledged the link with the sites but pointedout that the Transfer Day site has not promoted the other twosites.

“Aside of this time and bio of the founder, this site has nevermentioned CreditLand.com and has never advertised their services,”the site said.

But at least a few of the site's supporters remained skeptical.Caleb Sarge Davis of Casselberry, Fla., wrote “you own the site,mentioned it now and make money off credit card applications. Threereason's you're wrong.”

Terry Goffinet added, “if you were a part of #OWS [Occupy WallStreet] at all, or had taken the time to understand it, then youwould be aware of and committed to the principle oftransparency.
