Affiliate Disclosure

How Spend Less. Get More. is funded

Some links on Spend Less. Get More. are affiliate links.

This means that, if someone clicks one of those links and makes a purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer. This normally does not increase the price paid by the customer.

Affiliate marketing helps support the cost of running the website, checking prices, maintaining price history and developing new features.

Our recommendations remain independent

The possibility of earning commission does not determine:

  • whether a deal is featured
  • the deal score or verdict
  • which retailer we identify as cheapest
  • whether we recommend buying or waiting
  • whether we warn about limited sizes, delivery charges or other restrictions

We may feature a stronger deal from a retailer that pays us no commission.

We may also decide not to feature an offer even where commission is available.

How affiliate links are identified

Where content contains affiliate links, we will make that commercial relationship clear.

Possible labels include:

  • Ad — affiliate link
  • Affiliate link
  • We may earn a commission
  • This post contains affiliate links

These disclosures should appear clearly and close to the relevant link or content.

Social-media posts

A social-media post containing an affiliate link or commission-earning code will be clearly identified.

Depending on the platform and format, we will normally use:

“Ad — affiliate link”

or:

“Ad”

The label will appear prominently at the beginning of the caption, video or Story where practical.

Retailer relationships

We may work with retailers and affiliate networks that provide:

  • trackable links
  • product information
  • price and stock feeds
  • promotional information
  • commission on qualifying purchases

Receiving information from a retailer does not guarantee that its offers will be featured.

Retailer claims are still assessed against our own deal-checking rules.

Gifts, samples and paid partnerships

Where we receive a free product, gifted item, payment, sponsorship or another commercial benefit, this will be disclosed clearly.

Possible labels include:

  • Ad — paid partnership
  • Ad — gifted product
  • Gifted
  • Sponsored

Prices and availability

We aim to check prices, stock and promotional conditions before publishing.

However:

  • retailer prices can change quickly
  • stock may sell out
  • voucher codes can expire
  • delivery charges may vary
  • some prices may depend on membership or eligibility

The retailer’s website is always the final source of the current price and purchasing conditions.

We will correct or remove information where we become aware that it is inaccurate or out of date.

No extra cost to you

Using an affiliate link should not increase the price paid by the customer.

In some cases, a retailer may offer the same price whether the customer uses our link or visits directly.

The commission is paid by the retailer or affiliate network.

Questions

Questions about affiliate relationships or disclosures can be sent through our contact page once the website is live.
