Affiliate Disclosure

Hey there, fellow traveler! At TheTravelDispatch, we love sharing our favorite destinations, tips, and gear to help you plan epic adventures.

To keep the site running and bring you free content, we sometimes earn a little something from affiliate links—at no extra cost to you. That’s right: if you click through and buy, we might get a commission or perk. Full transparency ahead!

How It Works

It’s super simple. When you click an affiliate link on our site (like for hotels, flights, or travel gear) and make a purchase, the merchant sends us a thank-you in the form of a commission, discount, or even a free product to review.

This helps us cover costs and keep dishing out honest recommendations. You pay the same price you’d find directly—no markups here!

Where It Applies

This disclosure covers every page and post on https://thetraveldispatch.com/ that includes affiliate links.

Whether it’s a destination guide, packing list, or gear roundup, if there’s an affiliate link, this policy applies. We don’t bury it—it’s all out in the open.

To make it crystal clear, we’ll label affiliate links right where you see them. 

You will also find a brief disclosure statement at the very top of every blog post that contains affiliate links, ensuring you are informed before you even start reading. Look for simple tags like (paid link), #ad, or [affiliate] immediately before or after the link.

No fine print or footnotes needed—you’ll spot it instantly.

Program-Specific Wording

We partner with trusted programs, and here’s the exact language they require:

  • As an Amazon Associate, TheTravelDispatch earns from qualifying purchases.
  • [Booking.com Affiliate: “We earn a commission if you make a booking through this link.”]
  • [Other placeholders: Add specifics like “REI Co-op Affiliate: We may earn a commission on purchases made through our links.”]

We’ll always include these where relevant so you know exactly what’s up.
