Affiliate disclosure

How we make money.

When you click a 'See deal' link on one of our cards and complete a purchase, we may earn a commission from the retailer. This is how we keep the archive open.

Commission does not change which deals we surface. We use the same editorial process for every retailer regardless of commission terms. If a deal is in the archive, it earned the spot on price-history, retailer presence, and category fit. If it is not, no commission deal would have changed that.

We do not accept money from brands in exchange for inclusion. We do not run sponsored cards dressed up as recommendations. We do not stockpile inventory and offload it via affiliate links.

Required disclosure under FTC Endorsement Guides: Stashed Deals participates in affiliate programs operated by major retailers and affiliate networks. We earn from qualifying purchases.

What 'qualifying purchase' means

A qualifying purchase is the standard affiliate-program definition: you click a retailer link from one of our cards, you complete the checkout at the retailer within the program's attribution window, and the retailer reports the transaction back to us through the affiliate network.

We get a small percentage of that transaction. The price you pay is set by the retailer and is the same whether you came from us, came from a search, or typed the URL directly.

Programs we participate in

The active program today is the Best Buy Affiliate Program (operated through Impact Radius as the network provider). The system is built to add additional retail programs as we expand the archive; we will name new programs here as they go live.

What we do not do

  • No paid tier placements. A retailer cannot buy a 'blazing' tier slot. The tier ladder is curation, not advertising.
  • No fake price history. The 90-day low and 'lowest in N days' claims come from real price observations at the retailer, captured and dated.
  • No undisclosed deals. If we ever run a sponsored format, it will be labeled clearly and unambiguously, not dressed up as editorial.
