Affiliate Disclosure
A plain-English explanation of how we use affiliate links, what that means for our editorial independence, and what to expect when you click through to Amazon.
The short version
BestPrimeDayDeals.com 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. As an Amazon Associate, BestPrimeDayDeals.com earns from qualifying purchases. When you click an Amazon link on this site and buy something, we may receive a small commission. This commission costs you nothing extra, and it never influences our editorial recommendations.
What an "affiliate link" is, in plain terms
An affiliate link is a regular hyperlink that includes a tracking tag. When you click one of our Amazon links and complete a purchase on Amazon, Amazon credits us with a referral commission. The price you pay is exactly the same price you'd pay if you'd typed Amazon's address into your browser directly. Amazon, not you, pays the commission out of the margin they make on the sale.
Every affiliate link on this site uses our Amazon Associates partner tag bestprimedaydeals-20. Every affiliate link is also marked with HTML attributes (rel="sponsored nofollow noopener") so search engines and browsers know it's a paid relationship.
Why this site exists, and how affiliate links fund it
Researching, testing, and writing in-depth product reviews takes time. Affiliate commissions are how independent review sites like ours stay independent. We don't sell ad placements to brands. We don't accept payment to feature, rank, or alter reviews. We don't run sponsored posts disguised as editorial. The commission earned through Amazon is what funds the site and pays the editorial team.
This is the standard funding model for the better end of the product review industry, including most of the publications you may already trust. The trade-off is fair as long as it's transparent: you should know when a link can result in compensation, and you should know that the recommendation came before the link, not the other way around.
How commissions do not influence our reviews
Our editors choose what products to test based on what readers are searching for, what's genuinely competitive in a category, and what we think is worth covering. Once a category brief is written, the testing follows the same protocol regardless of which products end up winning. The product that earns the highest commission is not the product we recommend. The product that earns no commission at all may end up being the product we recommend, in which case we'll still link readers to it on Amazon for convenience, but we'll get nothing for it.
Brands don't see drafts before publication. Brands don't have the ability to remove themselves from negative reviews. We don't accept "review samples" with strings attached, and we don't promise coverage in exchange for products. When we receive a sample, we say so on the review page.
Why we don't display specific prices
Amazon prices change constantly. By the terms of Amazon's Operating Agreement (which all Amazon Associates must follow), any displayed price must be no more than 24 hours old. A static review site without an API integration cannot reasonably guarantee that, so we don't display specific dollar prices anywhere on this site.
Instead, we use price-tier badges that don't go stale: $ for products under roughly $50, $$ for $50 to $150, $$$ for $150 to $500, and $$$$ for products above $500. Tiers shift slowly enough that they almost never need updating, and they give you the at-a-glance affordability info you want without misleading you about the live price. For the actual current price, our CTA buttons always link to the live Amazon listing.
Prices and availability are subject to change
Prices, availability, shipping speeds, and seller offers on Amazon change without notice. A product we recommend today may be temporarily out of stock, may be sold by a third party with longer shipping, or may have a different price tier than when we last reviewed it. We do our best to keep the price-tier badges accurate, but the live Amazon page is always the source of truth for the current state of any listing.
How we keep the disclosure visible
This disclosure is meant to comply with the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, which require that affiliate relationships be disclosed clearly and conspicuously. To meet that standard:
- Every page that contains affiliate links carries a short affiliate disclosure callout near the first affiliate link.
- Every page on the site has a footer that includes the line: "As an Amazon Associate, BestPrimeDayDeals.com earns from qualifying purchases."
- This dedicated disclosure page is linked from the site-wide footer.
- Affiliate links carry HTML attributes (
rel="sponsored nofollow noopener") that signal to search engines and browsers that they're paid placements.
Other affiliate relationships
Amazon Associates is the primary affiliate program we use. We may, from time to time, participate in other affiliate programs. When we do, we'll disclose that participation on the relevant page. This disclosure page will also be updated to reflect any new programs.
Questions
If anything about this disclosure is unclear, or if you have a specific question about a particular review or recommendation, please reach out via the contact page. We'll either answer or update this page so the answer is public.
