Affiliate Disclosure

Last updated: January 2026

At GiftDeals.io, transparency is at the core of everything we do. We believe our users deserve to know exactly how our website operates, including how we make money. This Affiliate Disclosure explains our affiliate relationships in plain, straightforward language so you can make informed decisions when using our Site.

What Is an Affiliate Relationship?

An affiliate relationship is a partnership between two companies where one party (the “affiliate” — that’s us, GiftDeals.io) promotes the products or services of the other party (the “merchant” or “retailer”) in exchange for a commission on sales or leads generated through the affiliate’s referral.

This is a standard and widely used business model across the internet. Major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, Target, and thousands of others operate affiliate programs. If you have ever clicked a link on a blog, review site, or deal aggregation site and ended up making a purchase, chances are that website participates in affiliate marketing.

GiftDeals.io is an independent affiliate publisher. We are not owned by, operated by, or directly affiliated with any of the retailers or gift card providers whose deals we feature. We are an independent platform curating deals for our users.

How We Earn Commissions

When you visit GiftDeals.io and click on a link to a third-party retailer or merchant, that link may be an “affiliate link.” Here is how it works:

1. You click an affiliate linkon our Site that takes you to a retailer’s website (e.g., Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy).
2. A small tracking cookieis placed in your browser. This cookie does not contain your name, email, or any personally identifiable information — it simply tells the retailer that you came from GiftDeals.io.
3. If you make a purchasewithin the cookie’s valid period (typically 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the retailer’s program), the retailer pays us a small percentage of the sale as a commission.

The price you pay is exactly the samewhether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the retailer’s website. You never pay more by using our links. In fact, we sometimes negotiate exclusive discount codes or special offers that are only available through our Site.

Our Transparency Commitment

We are committed to being upfront and honest about our business model. Here is what we promise you:

• We will clearly disclose that we may earn commissions from the links on our Site. This disclosure appears on every page where affiliate links may be present.
• We will never mislead you about the nature of our affiliate relationships or pretend to be something we are not.
• We will never recommend a deal or product solely because it pays a higher commission. Our recommendations are based on the value and savings opportunity for you, our user.
• We will be honest about deal terms— including any limitations, exclusions, or fine print that we are aware of.
• We will correct errors promptly if we discover that any deal information is inaccurate or outdated.

Which Links Are Affiliate Links?

Because of the way affiliate tracking works, it is not always practical to mark each individual link on every page with a separate disclosure. However, as a general rule, you should assume that any link on GiftDeals.io that directs you to an external retailer or merchant website is an affiliate link. This includes:

• Links to buy gift cards on retailer websites;
• Links to view a deal or promotion on a retailer’s site;
• Links to retailer homepages or product pages from our deal listings;
• Banner advertisements or promotional widgets displayed on our Site;
• Links in our email newsletters (if you subscribe) that direct you to retailer sites.

Links to other informational resources (such as our Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, or this Disclosure page) are not affiliate links.

Our Editorial Integrity

Affiliate commissions are how we fund our operations, but they donot dictate our editorial content. We maintain strict editorial independence. Here is what that means in practice:

• Deal selection is independent. We feature deals based on their value, savings potential, and relevance to our users, not on commission rates.
• No pay-for-play.Retailers cannot pay us to feature specific deals or to remove competitors’ deals from our listings.
• Honest assessment. If we have negative information about a deal, a retailer, or a gift card product, we will share it with our users.
• Sponsored content is clearly labeled.In the rare event that we publish sponsored or paid content, it will be clearly and conspicuously marked as “Sponsored,” “Ad,” or “Paid Promotion.”

FTC Compliance Statement

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires that affiliate publishers disclose their material connections to the brands, products, or services they promote. This is required under the FTC’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255).

GiftDeals.io fully complies with FTC disclosure requirements. We have a material connection to the retailers whose products and services we feature because we may earn a commission when you make a purchase through our affiliate links. We consider this connection to be a “material connection” under FTC guidelines, and we disclose it:

• On this dedicated Affiliate Disclosure page (always accessible from our footer);
• In a general disclosure notice that appears on pages throughout the Site;
• In individual posts or deal listings where affiliate links are present (as appropriate).

We also comply with similar disclosure requirements in other jurisdictions, including the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations in the UK and the Australian Consumer Law.

Your Trust Matters

We understand that trust is earned, not given. Our goal is to be the most trusted source for gift card deals on the internet, and that requires full transparency about how we operate.

If you ever have any questions about our affiliate relationships, a specific link, or anything else related to how we make money, please do not hesitate to reach out. We would rather answer an honest question than lose your trust through silence.

You can contact us at any time at disclosure@giftdeals.io. We read every message and will respond as promptly as possible.

Thank you for visiting GiftDeals.io. We appreciate your support and your trust.
