Affiliate Disclosure

The disclosure

Gazoobie, operated by Gazoobie powered by iM, participates in affiliate programs. When you click a deal on this site and go on to buy something, the retailer may pay us a commission on that sale. This applies to most outbound links on the site, including deal cards, store pages and the links inside our emails.

It costs you nothing

The commission comes out of the retailer’s margin, not your total. You pay exactly the same price arriving through Gazoobie as you would typing the retailer’s address into your browser, and often less if there is a working code on the page. There is no markup, no fee, and no account required.

What it does not buy

Commission creates an obvious conflict: it rewards sending you to buy things whether or not the deal is any good. These are the rules we hold ourselves to because of it:

• No paid placement. No retailer can pay to rank higher, to be featured, to soften a verdict, or to have a warning removed.
• Commission rate does not affect ranking. A deal that pays us more does not get promoted over one that pays less.
• We say when something is not worth buying. Telling you to skip a bad offer is the only thing that makes the good ones worth reading.
• No invented praise. We do not publish fabricated reviews, testimonials or ratings.

Where the money comes from

Commission is paid through affiliate networks that sit between publishers like us and retailers. When you click a deal, the network records the referral so the sale can be attributed. What that means for your data is covered in the privacy policy.

Prices and availability

Offers change constantly and we do not control them. A price, discount or code shown on Gazoobie can expire, sell out or carry restrictions the retailer never published. Always confirm the final price and terms at the retailer’s checkout before buying. If you find a deal on our site that is wrong, please tell us — those reports are the most useful messages we get.

How we choose what to show

The method behind the picks and verdicts is written up on how we verify deals, and the mechanics of the site are on how Gazoobie works.
