Short version: BestBuysUSA earns commissions when you click our links and buy something. This costs you nothing extra. It does not influence which deals we feature — our curation is based on value, not commission rates.
Amazon Associates Program
BestBuysUSA is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
When you click an Amazon link on BestBuysUSA and make a qualifying purchase within the Amazon attribution window (typically 24 hours for standard links, or 90 days if an item is added to your cart), we earn a small commission. The commission is paid by Amazon — it does not add any cost to your purchase. You pay exactly what Amazon charges.
Commission Rates
Amazon commission rates vary by product category, typically ranging from 1% to 10% of the sale price. The specific rate depends on the category of the product purchased, not the price shown on our site. We do not have control over or advance knowledge of which specific products you may purchase after clicking one of our links.
How This Affects Our Editorial Decisions
Our editorial policy is straightforward: we feature deals based on value, not commission potential.
- We do not accept payment from brands or sellers to feature their products
- Products are not ranked or ordered based on commission rates
- We do not participate in sponsored deal placements
- Our "Editor's Picks" are selected based on discount depth, product rating, and price history — not affiliate incentives
Certain high-commission categories (like electronics) happen to also be categories with the most frequent meaningful price drops — so they appear prominently for that reason, not because of commission rates.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 C.F.R. Part 255), BestBuysUSA discloses its affiliate relationships clearly. The commission we earn from qualifying purchases constitutes a "material connection" between BestBuysUSA and Amazon that consumers have a right to know about.
This disclosure appears in our website footer on every page and in full on this dedicated disclosure page.
Other Retailers
BestBuysUSA plans to expand to additional retailers including Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. When those integrations launch, we will update this disclosure to reflect those affiliate relationships. Each retailer will have its own affiliate program with its own commission structure and terms.
No Guarantee of Accuracy
While we strive to display accurate pricing, deals change rapidly. The price shown on BestBuysUSA at the time you view a deal may differ from the price shown on Amazon when you click through. Always verify the final price on the retailer's website before completing your purchase.
