Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: January 2026
In the interest of full transparency, PriceDetective wants you to know that we may earn commission from some of the links on our website. This helps us keep the lights on and continue providing you with free access to deals, voucher codes, and money-saving content.
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is a form of online advertising where we earn a small commission when you click on links to retailers and make a purchase. This is a common business model used by many deal and voucher websites.
When you click on a deal or voucher link on PriceDetective and make a purchase, the retailer tracks this through special "affiliate links" and pays us a small percentage of the sale. This happens at no additional cost to you - you pay the same price whether you use our link or go directly to the retailer.
Our Affiliate Partners
We work with various affiliate networks and programmes, including but not limited to:
- Amazon Associates: Amazon's affiliate programme
- Awin: A leading affiliate network with thousands of UK retailers
- CJ Affiliate: Commission Junction, another major affiliate network
- Impact: Partnership management platform
- Skimlinks: Automatic affiliate link service
- eBay Partner Network: eBay's affiliate programme
- TradeTracker: European affiliate network
- And various direct retailer affiliate programmes
How This Affects Our Content
We want to be clear about how our affiliate relationships affect our content:
What We Do:
- Feature deals that we genuinely believe offer good value
- Include deals from retailers regardless of affiliate commission rates
- Allow our community to submit and vote on deals
- Clearly mark sponsored or paid placements when applicable
What We Don't Do:
- Promote bad deals just because they pay higher commission
- Hide or bury good deals from retailers who don't offer affiliate programmes
- Artificially inflate prices through our links
- Allow affiliate relationships to influence our editorial decisions
No Extra Cost to You
It's important to understand that using our affiliate links:
- Does not increase the price - You pay the same price as if you went directly to the retailer
- Supports our website - Helps us maintain and improve PriceDetective
- Is completely optional - You can always go directly to the retailer if you prefer

Most external links on PriceDetective are affiliate links. You can usually identify them by:
- Links that redirect through tracking URLs before reaching the retailer
- URLs containing parameters like "tag=", "ref=", or "aff="
- "Get Deal" or "Go to Store" buttons
