Affiliate Marketing Policy

Welcome to Departurefeed, where we bring you the best travel tips, destination guides, and insider secrets—all with a touch of honesty and adventure. We love sharing our favorite travel finds, and sometimes, we make a little commission when you book or buy through our links. But don’t worry, we’ll always be upfront about it!

How Our Affiliate Partnerships Work

We team up with awesome brands and services that we genuinely love and think you will too. If you click on an affiliate link on our site and make a purchase, we may earn a commission—at no extra cost to you. This helps keep Departurefeed running so we can keep bringing you the best travel content.

But here’s the deal: We never let affiliate partnerships influence what we recommend. If we wouldn’t book it, use it, or rave about it to our fellow travelers, we won’t promote it. Simple as that!

Keeping It Transparent: Global Disclosure Compliance

Different countries have different rules about affiliate marketing, and we follow them all to make sure you’re always in the know. Here’s how we roll in some key locations:

  • United States (FTC Rules): The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to disclose when we use affiliate links, so you'll see a friendly heads-up at the start of any article that contains them.

  • United Kingdom (ASA & CMA Regulations): The UK wants things crystal clear too, so we label affiliate content with “#Ad” or an easy-to-spot disclosure.

  • European Union (Consumer Protection Laws): For our EU readers, we make sure affiliate partnerships are clearly stated, so there’s no confusion.

  • Canada (Competition Bureau Guidelines): We’re all about transparency, so we disclose affiliate links in a way that meets Canada’s advertising rules.

  • Australia (ACCC Guidelines): No shady stuff here! We make sure affiliate links are clearly disclosed, just like the Aussie Competition and Consumer Commission requires.

  • Other Countries: No matter where you’re reading from, if there are local regulations, we’re on it. Our goal is to keep everything clear, fair, and traveler-friendly.

How We Let You Know About Affiliate Links

You’ll never have to guess whether a link is an affiliate link—we make it obvious! Here’s how:

  • A site-wide disclosure on our About and Affiliate Policy pages.

  • A friendly note in our website footer

  • Labels or notes next to individual links when needed.

  • Social media disclosures like “#Affiliate” or “#Ad” when required.

Our Promise to You

At Departurefeed, our top priority is YOU—our fellow travelers. We only recommend services, products, and experiences that we believe in. No sketchy deals, no paid-for opinions, just honest travel advice from people who love to explore the world as much as you do!

Policy Updates

We may tweak this policy from time to time to keep up with changes in affiliate marketing rules. If we do, we’ll let you know right here on our site.
