What This Page Covers

This page explains how SeasonedRoamer.com earns money, which affiliate programmes we participate in, and what that means for the content you read here.

Reading an article on this site is free. Some articles contain links to products or services. If you click one of those links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. This is how we fund the site.

This disclosure applies to all content on SeasonedRoamer.com, including articles, reviews, buying guides, and email newsletters.

What Is an Affiliate Link

An affiliate link is a tracked URL that tells a company that a visitor came from our site. If that visitor goes on to make a purchase, we receive a commission.

Affiliate commissions come from the company, not from you. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go to the company’s website directly.

Not every link on this site is an affiliate link. Links to government websites, regulatory bodies, and resources we reference for factual purposes are not affiliate links.

Affiliate Programmes We Participate In

This list is updated as we join new programmes. We currently participate in four affiliate programmes: Amazon Associates, Viator, Travelpayouts and CJ Affiliate. Additional programmes will be added to this list only once each application is approved and a live link is actually in use on the site, not before.

Product recommendations. SeasonedRoamer.com is a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases. Amazon links on this site are tracked. If you click an Amazon link and make a purchase within 24 hours, we receive a small commission.

Tours and activities. Some links to tours are tracked through Viator. If you book through one of these links, we may receive a commission from Viator. The price you pay is the same.

Travel services. Some links to travel services, such as eSIM providers and travel insurance, are tracked through Travelpayouts, an affiliate network for travel brands. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the provider. The price you pay is the same.

Hotel memberships. Some links to hotel memberships, such as ALL Accor+ Explorer, are tracked through CJ Affiliate, an affiliate network. If you click one of these links and make a purchase, we may receive a commission from the provider. The price you pay is the same.

How This Affects Our Content

We only recommend products and services we believe are genuinely useful for our readers. We do not recommend something just because it pays a higher commission.

We do not allow affiliate relationships to influence the accuracy or honesty of our reviews. If a product or service is not suitable, we say so.

All factual claims in our content are sourced from primary sources before publication. Commission rates, product specifications, and other data points are verified at the time of writing. These may change after publication.

Where we have a financial relationship with a company, we say so in the article, typically in a sentence near the top of a review, or in the article footer.

Regulatory Requirements by Market

South Africa. South African consumer protection obligations under the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 and the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002 require clear and accurate disclosure of commercial relationships and material facts about products and services.

United Kingdom. The UK Advertising Standards Authority requires that commercial content is clearly identified. Content that contains affiliate links is commercial content, and we label it as such. Disclosures must be obvious and presented before the reader engages with the commercial content.

Australia. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission requires mandatory disclosure in marketing content, including native advertising and social commerce. Where content was influenced by or paid for by a brand, we disclose that clearly.

New Zealand. New Zealand’s Commerce Commission and Advertising Standards Authority require that commercial intent is clear in all promotional content. We comply by identifying affiliate content in our articles.

Canada. Advertising Standards Canada requires affiliate marketing disclosures to be clear and conspicuous. The Competition Bureau of Canada also has jurisdiction over misleading advertising. We follow the ASC Influencer Disclosure Guidelines.

Amazon Associates Statement

As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

This statement is required by Amazon’s Associates Program Operating Agreement and must appear on any site that participates in the Amazon Associates Programme.

Network Disclosure

As additional affiliate programmes go live, this site may participate in programmes hosted on networks such as Commission Junction, ShareASale, Awin, Impact, Partnerize, Affilired, and Travelpayouts. These networks track clicks and conversions using cookies and tracking pixels placed on your browser when you click an affiliate link.

Each network operates under its own privacy policy. If you click an affiliate link, that network’s tracking technology becomes active. More detail on cookies and tracking is in our Privacy Policy.
