Affiliate Disclosure
Learn how BargainMom uses affiliate links, how commissions work, which types of retailers we may partner with, and how affiliate relationships support our website.
BargainMom.net (“BargainMom,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means that some links on our website are affiliate links, and we may earn a commission when you click an affiliate link and make a qualifying purchase. Our goal is to be transparent about how BargainMom earns money while helping you find useful products, deals, and shopping opportunities.
- What Are Affiliate Links?
An affiliate link is a special URL that allows an affiliate program to track referrals from BargainMom.net to a retailer’s website. If you click an affiliate link and subsequently make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action, BargainMom may receive a commission from the retailer or affiliate network. The use of an affiliate link does not add cost to you.
- Which Retailers Do We Work With?
BargainMom.net may participate in affiliate programs operated by various U.S. retailers, e-commerce platforms, affiliate networks, and specialty stores. These may include, but are not limited to:
Amazon Walmart Target Best Buy Other major U.S. retailers and e-commerce platforms Our affiliate relationships may change over time as programs are added, discontinued, or updated.
- How Does BargainMom Earn Money?
When you click an affiliate link on BargainMom.net and make a qualifying purchase or complete another qualifying action within the applicable tracking period, we may receive a commission. Commission rates and qualifying conditions vary by retailer, affiliate network, product category, promotion, and other factors. We therefore do not guarantee a specific commission percentage or tracking period. The applicable retailer or affiliate program determines the commission and eligibility rules.
- Does an Affiliate Link Affect Your Price?
Generally, no. Clicking an affiliate link does not increase the price you pay for a product. The commission is generally paid by the retailer or affiliate program as part of its marketing or referral arrangements. However, product prices, promotions, shipping costs, taxes, and other charges are controlled by the retailer and may change at any time. Always check the final price and terms on the retailer’s website before completing a purchase.
- Our Commitment to Readers
We aim to maintain transparency and editorial independence in our affiliate relationships. We Focus on Value We seek to feature products, deals, and services that we believe may provide value to our readers. Commissions Do Not Guarantee Recommendations The existence or amount of an affiliate commission does not guarantee that a product will be featured, recommended, or given a particular position on our website. We Disclose Affiliate Relationships We disclose our use of affiliate links through this Affiliate Disclosure and, where appropriate, through notices or labels on individual pages or links. Your Choice Comes First You are never required to purchase through our affiliate links. You are free to visit a retailer directly or shop elsewhere. We Aim to Verify Information We make reasonable efforts to check product information, prices, promotions, and availability before featuring deals. However, retailer information can change quickly, and we cannot guarantee that information will remain current.
- How Can You Identify Affiliate Links?
Affiliate links may appear in different forms throughout BargainMom.net, including:
Text links to retailer websites “Buy on [Retailer Name]” buttons Product images that link to retailer websites Deal buttons or promotional links Product comparison tables Shopping guides and product recommendations Not every link to a third-party website is necessarily an affiliate link.
- What Happens When You Click an Affiliate Link?
The process generally works as follows:
You click an affiliate link on BargainMom.net. You are redirected to the applicable retailer or affiliate network. You may browse the retailer’s website and add products to your cart. If you complete a qualifying purchase or action within the applicable tracking period, the transaction may be attributed to BargainMom. If the transaction qualifies, we may receive a commission. The applicable tracking period varies by retailer and affiliate program. We do not guarantee that every purchase made after clicking one of our links will result in a commission.
- Returns, Refunds, and Exchanges
If you purchase a product through one of our affiliate links and later return or cancel the purchase, the retailer may reverse or withhold the associated affiliate commission. This does not change your rights or obligations with the retailer. Returns, refunds, exchanges, warranties, shipping, and customer service are handled directly by the retailer according to its policies.
