Commercial relationships should be clear before recommendations.

Last updated: July 26, 2026

Selected TRJ guides contain affiliate links or other clearly disclosed commercial relationships. If you book or buy through those links, TRJ may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships are disclosed at the top of the relevant guide and again near the commercial link.

Standard disclosure

Disclosure: We may earn a commission if you book or buy through links on this page, at no extra cost to you. This does not affect how we check, compare, or describe options.

Where disclosures appear

A dedicated disclosure page is not enough. Commercial relationships should be disclosed before the first recommendation, comparison table, or call-to-action on a page. A shorter reminder may also appear near a booking or purchase link.

Link rules

• Affiliate links should use rel="sponsored".
• Shortened URLs should not hide the destination.
• CTA text should match the linked service or product.
• Sponsored, gifted, paid, or invited content should be disclosed separately when applicable.

Social and Pinterest

If a Pin, X post, or other social post includes a commercial relationship, the post itself should make that relationship clear using platform-appropriate disclosure.
