# Affiliate Disclosure

## Affiliate Disclosure

At Coupons Scout, our mission is to provide you with "Honest Advice" and working coupon codes. To keep our platform running and continue offering these services freely, we operate as a Hybrid Affiliate Aggregator.

This Affiliate Disclosure is designed to give you complete transparency into how we make money and how we protect our editorial integrity. To learn more about our broader mission, please visit our [About Us](https://couponsscout.com/about-us) page.

### How We Make Money

When you click on certain links on our website and make a purchase or successfully redeem a code, we may earn a commission from our merchant partners. This includes affiliate networks like Impact, CJ, and ShareASale. This compensation helps fund the advanced Growth Automation technology we use to discover deals and supports our team of human experts who manually verify them.

### No Extra Cost to You

It is important to understand that using our affiliate links comes at absolutely no extra cost to you. The price you pay for a product or service remains exactly the same whether you use our link or go directly to the vendor's website. In fact, by using the active codes found on our [Latest Coupons](https://couponsscout.com/latest-coupons/) page, you will likely pay less.

### Ironclad Editorial Independence

Our commitment to our users always comes first. We prioritize user trust over revenue, which means we will actively remove non-working codes from our site, even if those specific codes or merchants offer high affiliate commissions.

Our financial relationships do not influence:

- The products we choose to review across our [Categories Page](https://couponsscout.com/categories/).
- Our rankings, comparisons, or "Best of" lists.
- The objective testing and manual cart simulations conducted by our Operations team.

Under the strict oversight of our Editor-in-Chief, Joanne Lovell, we enforce rigorous [Editorial Guidelines](https://couponsscout.com/editorial-guidelines) to guarantee that our reviews are based purely on facts, product quality, and user benefits—not on affiliate payouts.

### The CSVP™ Guarantee

Every discount and review on Coupons Scout must pass the Coupons Scout Verification Protocol (CSVP™). This systematic, objective testing process ensures that our product evaluations and coupon curations remain impartial. You can read the full details of this process on our [How we work](https://couponsscout.com/how-we-work) page.

By using our website, you consent to our [Terms and Conditions](https://couponsscout.com/terms-and-conditions) and acknowledge our [Privacy Policy](https://couponsscout.com/privacy-policy) and [Cookie Policy](https://couponsscout.com/cookie-policy). If you have any further questions about our monetization practices, please feel free to reach out via our [Contact Us](https://couponsscout.com/contact-us) page.

### Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

### What is an affiliate link?

An affiliate link is a specific URL that contains an identifier tracking the source of traffic. When you click on an affiliate link on Coupons Scout and make a purchase at one of our partnered [Stores](https://couponsscout.com/stores/), the merchant recognizes that we sent you there and pays us a small commission for the referral.

### Does clicking an affiliate link increase the price I pay?

No. Clicking an affiliate link on our site will never increase the cost of the item or service you are buying. The commission we earn comes out of the merchant's profit margin, not your pocket.

### Do brands pay Coupons Scout to write positive reviews?

Absolutely not. As per our strict editorial standards, we do not accept paid placements for positive reviews. If a product has a downside, our experts are required to mention it to give you a complete, unbiased picture. Our affiliate partnerships have zero impact on the outcome of our evaluations.

### Why do you only feature certain brands?

While we aim to cover a vast array of brands, we focus our energy on providing "Savings Intelligence" for high-converting stores and niche brands where we can mathematically verify the discounts. We only recommend products and services that pass our rigorous CSVP™ testing, ensuring our [Our Team at Coupons Scout](https://couponsscout.com/our-team-at-coupons-scout) can stand behind every recommendation.
