HNL Deals is reader supported. When you buy through links on this site, we may earn a commission. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

This page explains that arrangement in plain terms, in line with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.

What an affiliate link is

Some links on this site carry a tracking code. If you follow one and buy something, the retailer pays us a percentage of the sale. You pay exactly the same price you would have paid otherwise. The commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not out of your pocket, and it does not affect your warranty, your return rights, or anything else about the purchase.

Amazon Associates

HNL Deals is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com. Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.

Product titles and specifications shown on this site are collected from public Amazon.com listings and may be out of date. We do not display Amazon prices or stock status. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase is what applies to that purchase.

Other programs

We also participate, or may participate in future, in affiliate programs run by other retailers and by networks including Impact, Awin, and ShareASale. The same rules apply to all of them.

How this affects what we publish

It does not. To be specific about what that means:

  • Commission rates play no part in the HNL Score. The scoring formula is published and contains no commercial input.
  • We recommend products that pay us nothing when they are the right answer, and we rank products that pay well below others when they deserve it.
  • No brand, retailer, or network can buy a review, a rating, a position in a roundup, or a change of wording.
  • Nobody outside the editorial team sees an article before it publishes.

Where you will see this disclosed

A disclosure appears near the top of every article that contains affiliate links, above the first such link, not hidden at the bottom of the page. Affiliate links are marked so that search engines do not treat them as editorial endorsements.

On social media, posts containing affiliate links carry a clear label such as #ad or #commissionsearned, or link back to this page.

No guarantees

We are not the seller. Orders, payment, shipping, returns, warranty claims, and customer service are between you and the retailer or manufacturer. Nothing here is medical, legal, financial, or tax advice. Read the safety information that comes with any product before you use it.

Questions about any of this go to [email protected]. Our wider editorial rules are on the Editorial Policy page.
