Affiliate Disclosure

Affiliate Disclosure

At TravelViewUS, we believe in transparency, honesty, and building a relationship of trust with our readers. As part of this commitment, we want to clearly explain how our website operates, how we earn income through affiliate links, and how these relationships impact the content you see.

This Affiliate Disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) guidelines to ensure that our readers understand when and why we may receive compensation for products, services, or brands mentioned on our website.

1. Why This Disclosure Exists

We value your trust above all else. As a travel resource, we share recommendations, guides, reviews, and tips to help you explore the United States and beyond. Sometimes, our content contains affiliate links — special links that track referrals from our website to another company’s product or service.

When you click on one of these links and make a purchase (or complete a qualifying action), we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This commission helps us:

  • Keep our website running without intrusive ads
  • Cover costs for research, photography, and travel
  • Continue offering free, high-quality travel content

We disclose this because your awareness and trust matter.

2. What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are unique tracking URLs provided by companies or affiliate networks. When you click on these links, a small piece of code tells the company that you found them through TravelViewUS.com. If you buy something or sign up for a service, the company rewards us with a commission.

For example:

  • If we recommend a hotel booking site and you book a stay through our link, we may earn a small fee.
  • If we link to travel gear on Amazon and you purchase it, Amazon pays us a commission through their Amazon Associates Program.

3. Our Affiliate Partnerships

We partner with companies that we genuinely believe offer valuable products or services for travelers. Some examples of programs we may participate in include:

  • Amazon Associates Program
  • Booking.com Affiliate Program
  • Expedia Affiliate Program
  • GetYourGuide Partner Program
  • Travel insurance providers like World Nomads or SafetyWing

We do not partner with every company that approaches us. We only recommend those that:

  1. Offer services or products we would use ourselves
  2. Have a solid reputation for quality and reliability
  3. Provide value to our audience

4. Why We Use Affiliate Links

Our mission is to provide free, helpful travel content. Running a professional website involves costs — domain fees, hosting, security, research, photography, editing, and more. Affiliate links help us cover these expenses without charging our readers directly.

By using our affiliate links, you help keep TravelViewUS.com free, ad-light, and regularly updated.

5. No Extra Cost to You

One important thing to know:

  • You do not pay more by clicking our affiliate links.
  • In some cases, you might even pay less, as we can sometimes secure special discounts or promotions for our readers.

6. Honesty and Editorial Integrity

Our reviews, guides, and recommendations are never influenced solely by our affiliate relationships. We do not:

  • Accept payment to write positive reviews
  • Recommend products or services we haven’t researched or vetted
  • Hide negative opinions

If a product, service, or destination has drawbacks, we’ll mention them. We want you to have the full picture, not just the sales pitch.

7. FTC Compliance

As per the FTC’s Endorsement Guidelines, we:

  • Disclose affiliate links clearly within relevant posts
  • Use statements such as:
    “This post may contain affiliate links. If you make a purchase through these links, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.”
  • Ensure that disclosures are visible and not hidden in fine print

8. How to Identify Our Affiliate Links

Whenever you see a link to a product or service on TravelViewUS.com, assume it might be an affiliate link unless otherwise stated. We often mark them with:

  • A clear disclosure at the beginning of a post
  • Hover text or a note that says affiliate link

9. Your Support Means Everything

By using our affiliate links, you help us:

  • Continue traveling and sharing first-hand experiences
  • Produce well-researched travel guides and tips
  • Keep the website ad-light and reader-friendly

We are incredibly grateful for every click, booking, and purchase made through our recommendations.

10. Limitations of Liability

While we recommend products and services in good faith, we cannot:

  • Guarantee your satisfaction with a product or service purchased through our links
  • Be held responsible for issues, delays, or quality concerns with third-party companies

Please read all terms, conditions, and policies of the vendor before making a purchase.

11. Updates to This Disclosure

We may update this Affiliate Disclosure at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be reflected on this page, with the Last Updated date modified accordingly.
