Affiliate Disclaimer:
Before Travel likes to be fully transparent about our earnings from our website. We believe that it is only fair you understand and are fully aware of how we receive money.
The ‘Before Travel’ website is designed to help provide useful information before you travel. As a result, it will hopefully save you time, stress and money. Due to the nature of the content, we often recommend products and services from third parties. Many of the companies, products and services we recommend, are ones to which we are Affiliated with. As a result, we link to them via ‘Affiliate Links’. This means that for every sale generated via one of our Affiliate links, we receive a small commission. However, the important thing to remember is that this does not cost you a single penny! All the commissions we receive are paid from the company to which we are affiliated with. As a result, you do not pay any more money, when purchasing via the ‘Affiliate Links’.
What Are Affiliate Links:
An ‘Affiliate Link’ is simply a link to another website, product or service for our website. An Affiliate link has a basic tracking code embedded into it that allows the company to distinguish where the original link generated from.
Why Is A Tracking Code Used:
As an Affiliate, we receive a small commission from the company to which we are Affiliated with, if a sale is made via one of our ‘Affiliate Links’. Each Affiliate is issued a unique tracking code, which they can use to recommend a product or service. The tracking code is then used to easily identify where the sale first originated from.
What Companies Are We Affiliated With:
We are affiliated with a large number of well known and reputable travel related companies. They are companies that we have used ourselves or have been highly recommended by others. These companies include major brands and household names providing a wide range of travel products and services including:
- Accommodation
- Airport Lounges
- Airport Parking
- Airport Transfers
- Car Hire
- Cottages
- Cruises
- Day Trips
- Excursions
- Flights
- Holidays
- Hostels
- Hotels
- Luggage Storage
- Theatre Tickets
- Tours
- Train Tickets
- Villas
How Much Commission Do We Receive:
The amount of commission we receive, simply depends on the product or service we recommend. Some commissions are on a percentage basis and others are on a flat rate. This means that some commissions are very small, whilst others are a little more.
How Will You Know If It Is An Affiliate Link:
We like to be fully transparent and therefore provide a little notice on our pages or next to each of our affiliate links on our website.
For Example: If we were linking to a car hire company to which we were Affiliated with, it may look something like this:
To find the best price on car hire, please click her (Affiliate Link)
Or
“This page contains ‘Affiliate Links’, to which we may receive a small commission if you purchase via the links. However, this will be at no extra cost to you and you will not pay a single penny more when purchasing via the ‘Affiliate Links’.”
As I am sure you can appreciate, due to the large number of pages on our website, some of the older pages may not have any notices on them.Therefore, it is best to presume that if you click on any link to a third party website, it may be an affiliate link. As a result of you clicking on any of our links, we may receive a small commission.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding.
