Affiliate Disclosure

How YourSavingsStartHere earns money

YourSavingsStartHere participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission when you click a link or use a coupon on our website and then make a purchase. This commission is what pays for our website and keeps it free for everyone.

It costs you nothing extra

The price you pay stays the same whether you use our link or visit the retailer directly. The commission is paid by the retailer, not by you. In many cases, a coupon we share can even lower what you pay.

What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a tracked link from our website to a retailer’s website. When you click it, the retailer or its affiliate network can see that you came from YourSavingsStartHere, usually through a cookie. If you complete a qualifying purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission.

You will find affiliate links on coupon and deal buttons, store pages, product picks, buying guides and in our weekly newsletter. Unless a link is clearly marked otherwise, please assume it may be an affiliate link.

Our affiliate partners

We work with affiliate networks and programs, including Amazon Associates, as well as direct partnerships with retailers. Not every store we mention is a partner, and we may list offers from stores that do not pay us.

Amazon Associates

YourSavingsStartHere 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. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

Our editorial independence

Our goal is always to recommend genuine deals. Commission does not decide which coupons, products or stores we feature, and we only publish offers that we believe give shoppers real value. If a deal is not good for our readers, we do not publish it, however much it might pay.

We do not accept payment to change the facts in a guide, to hide a product’s drawbacks or to guarantee a positive mention. If we ever publish sponsored content, we will label it clearly. You can read more in our Editorial Policy.

You should also know that we can only earn commission from retailers that have an affiliate program with us or with a network we use. So the stores and products on our website are naturally ones we can link to through such programs, and different retailers pay different rates. Our guides are not a complete survey of the market, and you may find other good options elsewhere.

Coupons and codes

When you use a code from our website, or click through to a retailer from a deal, we may earn a commission if you make a qualifying purchase. Retailers control their own offers, so codes can expire, stop working or be limited to certain products or customers. We cannot guarantee that any code will work, so please read the offer terms and check the final price at checkout. If a code does not work, tell us through our Contact page.

Some retailers show codes that only work through tracked links. In that case, you may need to click our link in the same browser session before you check out.

Cookies and tracking

Affiliate tracking usually works through cookies. When you click one of our links, the retailer or network may place a cookie on your device so a later purchase can be linked to us. These cookies are controlled by the retailer or network under their own privacy policies. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, but then a purchase may not be credited to us. It will not change the price you pay. See our Cookie Policy and Privacy Policy for more.

Your choice

You never have to use our links. You can always go straight to a retailer’s website, and we simply will not earn a commission. We would just appreciate it if you checked our coupons first, since a working code can save you money.

Third-party websites

When you click an affiliate link, you leave YourSavingsStartHere and go to a website we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the products, prices, availability, customer service or privacy practices of the retailers we link to. Any purchase is a transaction between you and the retailer. See our Terms of Service and Refund and Cancellation Policy for more.

Following the rules

We follow the advertising and endorsement rules where our readers live. In the United States, this includes the Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255), which require us to clearly disclose material connections such as affiliate relationships. We follow comparable guidance in the UK, Canada and Australia, and we place a short affiliate notice on our pages so our disclosures are easy to notice.
