TravHacker.com is a US-focused affiliate review site. Some of the links on this site are affiliate links — meaning if you click one and make a purchase (or other qualifying action) on the merchant’s site, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

What this means for you

  • Same price. Commissions are paid by the merchant, not added to your total.
  • We pick first, monetize second. Products are selected against the three gates in our catalog docs before an affiliate link is attached. If a product doesn’t clear the gates, it doesn’t get linked, with or without commission.
  • Clear labeling. Every post that contains affiliate links states so in a banner at the top. Look for the “Money earner disclosure” line.

Affiliate programs we participate in

  • Amazon Associates (US)
  • ShareASale
  • CJ Affiliate
  • REI / Backcountry Affiliate Program
  • AWIN

We may join additional programs in the future. The list above is current as of the last update on this page.

FTC compliance

This site is committed to transparency with readers. The Federal Trade Commission requires disclosure of “material connections” between endorsers and advertisers. Material connections on this site include the affiliate commissions described above. The presence of an affiliate link is, by itself, a material connection.
