Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: June 29, 2026
GetCheapThings may participate in affiliate programs. This page explains what that means, how outbound links are labeled, and when a deal button may open a retailer search page instead of a direct product URL.
Material connection
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires us to disclose when we have a "material connection" to a product or retailer — meaning we may receive compensation if you click a link and make a purchase. That relationship does not change the price you pay.
How we earn commissions
Some "View on [store]" buttons and outbound links on GetCheapThings may be affiliate links. If you buy something after clicking one of these links, we may earn a small commission from the retailer or its affiliate network. Other buttons may open a retailer search results page when a direct tracked URL is not available yet.
Retailers we link to
We may link to Amazon, Walmart, Target, Woot, Best Buy, Home Depot, REI, CVS, eBay, Wayfair, travel providers, restaurant offers, and other retailers or marketplaces as the catalog changes.
As an Amazon Associate, GetCheapThings earns from qualifying purchases. For other merchants, we may earn fees through their affiliate programs or affiliate networks when you shop via our links. Some links are plain retailer search links and may not be monetized yet.
Editorial independence
Affiliate relationships should not determine which deals we list. The goal is still to make browsing cleaner, clearer, and more useful than typical deal spam, even when an outbound link is monetized.
What we do not do
- Charge you extra for using our links
- Hide affiliate relationships — deal pages label outbound links and include this disclosure
- Guarantee that every link on the site is a direct product URL; some links may be retailer search pages for convenience
- Guarantee that every link on the site is an affiliate link; some links may be provided for convenience only
