Affiliate Disclosure
Last Updated: 06/08/2025
Introduction
Hi there, fellow travelers!
At Passport Whispers (www.passportwhispers.com), we’re passionate about helping you discover amazing destinations and travel experiences. To keep our site running and continue bringing you valuable travel content, we may earn small commissions when you purchase products or services through certain links on our website.
The bottom line: When you click on some of our links and make a purchase, we might receive a commission at no extra cost to you. This helps us keep the lights on and continue creating the travel guides and tips you love!
How It Works
Here’s the simple breakdown of how our affiliate partnerships work:
What happens when you click: When you click on certain links throughout our website and make a purchase, the company may pay us a small commission. This could be money, free products, discounts, or other forms of compensation.
Your cost stays the same: You’ll never pay more because you clicked through our link. The price you see is the price you pay, whether you found the product through us or directly through the company.
Why we do this: These partnerships allow us to keep creating free travel content, test products and services to recommend to you, and maintain our website without charging our readers.
Our promise: We only recommend products, services, and destinations we genuinely believe in. Our affiliate relationships don’t influence our honest opinions or travel advice.
Where This Applies
This affiliate disclosure applies to:
- All pages on www.passportwhispers.com
- All blog posts and articles
- Social media posts linked to our website
- Email newsletters and communications
- Any other content we create under the Passport Whispers brand
Basically, anywhere you see our content, this disclosure applies!
Clear Link Labeling
To make things crystal clear, we use obvious labels to identify affiliate links:
Look for these markers:
- (paid link) – placed right next to or near the affiliate link
- #ad – used especially on social media and some blog posts
- “affiliate link” – when we want to be extra clear
- Boxed disclosures – sometimes we’ll put a note in a highlighted box
Where you’ll see them: These labels appear immediately before or after the link, so you know exactly which links might earn us a commission.
Program-Specific Information
We participate in various affiliate programs. Here are some specific disclosures required by our partners:
Amazon Associates Program: “As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.”
Hotel Booking Partners: We may receive commissions from hotel booking platforms when you make reservations through our links.
Travel Insurance Partners: We may earn commissions when you purchase travel insurance through our recommended providers.
Note: We’ll always clearly identify which specific programs apply to individual posts or recommendations.
Our Commitment to You
Honest recommendations: We only promote products, services, and destinations we’ve personally used, thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe will benefit fellow travelers.
Transparent pricing: If we receive products for free in exchange for reviews, we’ll always disclose this clearly.
Your trust matters: We know you rely on us for honest travel advice, and we take that responsibility seriously.
