Affiliate disclosure

Plain English · Updated September 2026

TripRanked is an affiliate website. That means some links on this site are special tracking links. If you click one and then buy or book something, the company may pay us a commission.

Does it cost you more?

No. Affiliate links should not raise the price you pay. The partner shares a portion of their revenue with us for the referral.

Does money affect rankings?

Partner commissions help keep TripRanked running, and we consider that alongside public reputation and product features. We still describe pros and cons honestly so you can decide what’s best for your trip. No fake test scores.

FTC note

In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) expects us to tell you when content is promotional or when we may earn money from a recommendation. This page, and short notes near our “Try” links and footers, are how we do that.

Rankings vs partner links

Big-brand ranking buttons that are not live affiliates link to the brand’s official marketing site (for example https://www.booking.com) and are labeled “Visit …” / “View site,” not as TripRanked affiliate offers. Live partner buttons use our Travelpayouts (tpx.lu) links and are marked as sponsored where applicable.
