Transparency & FTC Compliance

Affiliate Disclosure

Last revised: September 2026. TravelyNow believes in complete transparency with our readers.

Quick Summary for Our Readers

TravelyNow is a reader-supported travel platform. When you follow links from our website to book hotel stays or purchase travel gear, we may earn an affiliate commission from our partner platforms (such as Agoda and Amazon). This never increases the price you pay. In fact, our partnerships often help surface promotions, discounts, and real-time deals.

1. Agoda Direct Affiliate Partnership

TravelyNow operates as a direct affiliate partner with Agoda Company Pte. Ltd. (partners.agoda.com) under verified Partner ID (CID) 1976034. We do not operate through third-party aggregator networks for hotel accommodations.

When you click on hotel recommendation cards, search widgets, or accommodation deals on our destination pages, your browser is directed to Agoda’s official reservation engine. If you complete a qualified hotel reservation, Agoda pays TravelyNow a referral commission.

Important Rate & Availability Notice:

Room prices, taxes, cancellation policies, and live availability displayed on TravelyNow are fetched dynamically via Agoda’s Affiliate Lite API or represent recent estimates. Actual rates are determined solely by Agoda and participating property owners at the time of final booking.

2. Amazon Associates Program Disclosure

“TravelyNow 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 and affiliated international marketplaces.”

In accordance with Amazon Associates Operating Agreement policies and FTC guidelines, please note:

  • “As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.”
  • We recommend specific travel equipment (such as carry-on backpacks, adapters, packing cubes, and safety wallets) using genuine Amazon Standard Identification Numbers (ASINs).
  • Amazon and the Amazon logo are trademarks of Amazon.com, Inc. or its affiliates.
  • We utilize Amazon OneLink to route international readers to their appropriate local Amazon storefront (e.g., Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.ca, Amazon.de) while maintaining referral tracking.

3. Editorial Integrity & Testing Standards

Our editorial recommendations are never dictated by affiliate commission rates. We prioritize traveler safety, durability, verified guest review scores, and authentic value above all else:

  • We do not accept paid placement fees to artificially boost a hotel rating or gear ranking.
  • If a property or travel product fails to meet our high standards for cleanliness, safety, or quality, it is not recommended on TravelyNow.
  • All affiliate links are clearly marked with an “Ad/Affiliate” label and routed through internal redirect handlers to ensure compliance.
