Affiliate Disclosure

1. What Is Affiliate Marketing?

Affiliate marketing is a performance-based marketing arrangement where we earn a commission when you make a purchase through our referral links. This commission comes from the retailer or brand, not from you.

Here's how it works:

1. You click on a coupon, deal, or product link on Today Coupon List
2. You are redirected to the retailer's website
3. If you make a purchase, the retailer pays us a small commission
4. You pay the same price (or less with our coupons)—no additional cost to you

This commission-based model allows us to provide free coupon and deal services to our users while sustaining our operations.

2. Our Affiliate Relationships

Today Coupon List participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including but not limited to:

• Affiliate Networks: ShareASale, CJ Affiliate (Commission Junction), Impact, Rakuten Advertising, Awin, and others
• Direct Partnerships: Individual retailer affiliate programs (Amazon Associates, eBay Partner Network, Walmart Affiliates, etc.)
• Coupon Aggregators: Partnerships with deal and coupon platforms
• Brand Partnerships: Direct relationships with specific brands and merchants

We work with hundreds of retailers and brands across various categories including fashion, electronics, home goods, travel, food delivery, and more.

3. How We Earn Commissions

We earn revenue through several methods:

3.1 Affiliate Commissions

When you click on a coupon code, deal link, or product recommendation and make a purchase, we receive a commission from the retailer. Commission rates typically range from 1% to 20% of your purchase amount, depending on the retailer and product category.

3.2 Click-Through Revenue

In some cases, we may earn a small fee simply when you click on a link and visit a retailer's website, regardless of whether you make a purchase.

3.3 Display Advertising

We display advertisements on our website through advertising networks like Google AdSense. We earn revenue when you view or click on these ads.

3.4 Sponsored Placements

Some deals or coupons may be featured in prominent positions because retailers pay for enhanced visibility. These sponsored placements are always clearly marked.

4. Does This Cost You More?

Example:

• Product price without our link: $100
• Product price with our link: $100 (same price)
• With our exclusive 20% coupon code: $80 (you save $20!)
• We earn a commission from the retailer (e.g., 10% = $8), but you still pay only $80

By using our coupons and deals, you often pay LESS than shopping directly, while helping us maintain our free service.

5. Our Commitment to Honest Recommendations

Our principles:

• Honesty First: We only recommend products, stores, and deals we genuinely believe provide value
• Quality Over Profit: We don't promote low-quality products just because they offer high commissions
• User Experience: Your satisfaction and savings are more important than our commission earnings
• Transparency: We clearly disclose when content is sponsored or when deals are featured placements
• Research-Based: Our deal selections are based on price comparison, user reviews, and retailer reputation

6. Sponsored Content and Featured Deals

Occasionally, we feature sponsored content or highlighted deals where retailers pay for premium placement. These are always clearly labeled with tags such as:

• "Sponsored"
• "Featured Deal"
• "Paid Partnership"
• "Promoted"

Even with sponsored placements, we maintain strict quality standards and only feature deals that provide genuine value to our users.

7. Tracking and Cookies

To track affiliate referrals and earn commissions, we use cookies and tracking technologies. When you click an affiliate link:

• A tracking cookie is placed on your device
• This cookie allows the retailer to identify that we referred you
• If you make a purchase within the cookie duration (typically 24 hours to 90 days), we earn a commission
• The cookie does not collect personally identifiable information about you

For more details about our use of cookies, please see our Cookie Policy.

8. Price Comparison and Deal Accuracy

We strive to provide accurate pricing information and up-to-date deals. However:

• Prices Change: Retailer prices can change at any time, and we may not immediately reflect these changes
• Coupon Expiration: Coupons may expire or reach usage limits before we can remove them
• Regional Variations: Prices and availability may vary by location
• Final Price Authority: The retailer's website always shows the final, authoritative price at checkout

We encourage you to verify prices and coupon validity on the retailer's website before making a purchase. If you find inaccurate information, please contact us so we can update it.

9. User-Submitted Coupons and Reviews

Our community members can submit coupons, deals, and reviews. While we moderate this content:

• User-submitted content may contain affiliate links
• We are not responsible for the accuracy of user-submitted information
• User reviews and ratings reflect individual opinions, not our editorial stance
• We reserve the right to remove content that violates our guidelines

10. Third-Party Websites and Retailers

When you click on our affiliate links, you leave Today Coupon List and visit third-party retailer websites. Please note:

• We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party websites
• Your interactions with retailers are governed by their terms and policies, not ours
• We do not handle transactions, customer service, shipping, or returns—contact the retailer directly
• We are not liable for any issues arising from your purchases on third-party websites

11. Your Consent and Choices

By using Today Coupon List and clicking on affiliate links, you acknowledge:

• You understand that we earn commissions from affiliate partnerships
• You consent to the use of tracking cookies for affiliate purposes
• You agree that clicking affiliate links does not obligate you to make a purchase
• You are free to visit retailers directly without using our links

You can choose not to use our affiliate links by navigating directly to retailer websites. However, you may miss out on exclusive coupon codes and deals that we've negotiated for our users.
