Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency about our relationship with Amazon and how it supports our mission to bring you the best deals.

Amazon Associates Program

At GearDeals, we believe in complete transparency with our readers. This page explains our participation in the Amazon Associates Program and how it affects your experience on our website.

What is the Amazon Associates Program?

Amazon Associate GearDeals 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.

This program allows websites like ours to earn a small commission when readers click on our product links and make qualifying purchases on Amazon. These commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing valuable content to our readers.

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click on a product link on GearDeals and make a purchase on Amazon within a certain timeframe (usually 24 hours), we may earn a small commission from that sale.

1

You Find a Deal

You discover a product you're interested in on our website

2

You Click Our Link

You click the product link which contains our affiliate code

3

You Make a Purchase

You complete your purchase on Amazon within the tracking window

4

We Earn a Commission

Amazon pays us a small percentage of the sale at no extra cost to you

Important: The price you pay for products on Amazon is exactly the same whether you use our affiliate links or go directly to Amazon. Using our links does not increase your cost in any way.

How Commissions Support Our Site

The commissions we earn through the Amazon Associates Program help us:

  • Maintain and improve our website infrastructure
  • Conduct thorough product research and testing
  • Hire writers and researchers to create quality content
  • Cover operational costs like hosting, software, and tools
  • Continue providing free deal alerts and product recommendations

Without these commissions, it would be challenging to maintain the quality and frequency of content that our readers have come to expect from GearDeals.

Our Commitment to Integrity

We want to assure our readers that our participation in the Amazon Associates Program does not influence our product recommendations in any way. Our editorial integrity is our highest priority.

Our commitment to you:

  • We only recommend products we genuinely believe offer good value
  • We maintain complete editorial independence in all our content
  • We clearly disclose our affiliate relationships on every relevant page
  • We prioritize accuracy and honesty in all our product reviews and recommendations
  • We never let potential commissions influence our opinion of a product

What This Means for Your Shopping Experience

When shopping through GearDeals:

  • You get access to carefully researched product recommendations
  • You benefit from our deal-finding expertise
  • You pay exactly the same price as you would going directly to Amazon
  • You support our ability to continue providing valuable content
  • You enjoy the same Amazon customer service, return policies, and buyer protection

Your shopping experience on Amazon remains completely unchanged - you simply get the added benefit of our research and recommendations.

Privacy Considerations

When you click on an Amazon affiliate link from our site, Amazon may place a cookie in your browser to track the referral. This is standard practice for affiliate programs and helps ensure that we receive credit for referrals that lead to purchases.

These cookies do not collect personal information and are used solely for tracking purposes. For more information about how Amazon handles data, please refer to Amazon's Privacy Notice.

Thank you for supporting GearDeals! By using our affiliate links when making purchases on Amazon, you help us continue our mission of finding and sharing the best deals with our community.
