Affiliate Disclosure

Last Updated: January 2024

Overview

DealScout ("we," "our," or "us") participates in various affiliate marketing programs, which means we may earn commissions on purchases made through links on our website. This page explains our affiliate relationships and how they work.

What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special URLs that contain tracking codes. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission at no extra cost to you. These commissions help us maintain this website and continue providing free, quality content.

Our Affiliate Partnerships

DealScout is a participant in the following affiliate programs:

Amazon Associates Program

DealScout is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Walmart Creator Program

We participate in the Walmart Creator Program and may earn commissions on qualifying purchases made through links to Walmart.com.

Other Affiliate Programs

We may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers and brands. When we recommend products from these partners, we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through our links.

Our Commitment to You

Honest Reviews

Our affiliate relationships do NOT influence our product recommendations or reviews. We maintain complete editorial independence and only recommend products we genuinely believe will be valuable to our readers.

Transparency

We clearly identify affiliate links where applicable. Product reviews and articles containing affiliate links include disclosure statements.

Your Cost

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. You pay the same price whether you use our links or go directly to the retailer's website.

No Obligation

You are never obligated to use our affiliate links. However, if you find our content helpful and choose to purchase through our links, we appreciate your support as it helps us keep the site running.

How We Choose Products to Review

We select products for review based on:

  • Reader requests and suggestions
  • Product popularity and relevance
  • Quality and value for money
  • Innovation and unique features
  • Our team's expertise and interest

We do NOT review products solely because they have higher commission rates. Our readers' interests come first.

Product Pricing and Availability

Prices and availability of products mentioned on DealScout are subject to change. The prices shown on our site are accurate at the time of publication but may differ when you visit the retailer's website. We are not responsible for price changes or product availability.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255: "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising." We comply with all FTC guidelines regarding endorsements and testimonials.
