MouseSavers, Inc. receives compensation from some of the companies mentioned on MouseSavers.com.

Affiliate (Referral) Links

Next time you're shopping for anything Disney online, please consider clicking through from a link on MouseSavers.com (there's a shopping mall on the site, as well as separate pages devoted to Disney music and Disney books). Some of the shopping links are "referral links" that track the source of the purchase back to MouseSavers.com through an "affiliate program." When you click on one of those links and buy something, MouseSavers, Inc. gets a small commission from the linked site for referring you.

For instance, if you read a review I wrote for a Disney guidebook and then decide to click on the link in the review and buy the book, MouseSavers, Inc. will earn a few cents from the sale. This does not affect the price you pay. Affiliate links are one way I keep MouseSavers.com going financially.

Compensated Recommendations

Some companies mentioned on this site (including the MouseSavers Preferred Hotels, travel agencies, ticket agencies, etc.) compensate MouseSavers, Inc. financially. There are also companies recommended on MouseSavers.com that do not pay compensation.

When it comes to accepting compensation, I follow the following ethical guidelines:

1. I do not let compensation dictate the companies I recommend. If I don't like it, I don't recommend it. Period. I have turned away literally dozens of companies that were willing to pay me large sums to appear on MouseSavers.com.

2. I always make a good-faith effort to find the best deals I can for my readers. I make it a goal to recommend only quality, dependable companies. I personally love to buy wonderful things at the best possible price, and it gives me great pleasure to help my readers find the same kind of bargains.

3. The compensation received by MouseSavers, Inc. does not increase the price my readers pay, and in fact, I have often negotiated a better deal for my readers than they can find elsewhere. For instance, the MouseSavers Preferred Hotels are supposed to offer my readers at least their lowest refundable/changeable rate (also known as the "Best Available Rate" in the hospitality industry). But in the vast majority of cases, they go far beyond that basic requirement, offering MouseSavers.com readers exclusive deals that are not available anywhere else.

4. If I feel the quality, price or reliability of a recommended company's product or service is no longer acceptable, I will not hesitate to remove that company from MouseSavers.com, even if it means a loss of revenue. This has happened in the past, though I'm happy to say it has been a rare occurrence.
