How affiliate links work

Our relationship with the stores

Value Servings earns money from the stores we link to. When you click a Buy link and then buy something, the store or its affiliate network may pay us a commission. That is a financial relationship with the store, and this page is our disclosure of it. It applies to every Buy link, product card, list, email and post from Value Servings, including links shared by creators who work with us.

• Your price stays the same. A commission never adds to what you pay.
• Links may go through a store's own affiliate program (for example Refersion, GoAffPro, UpPromote, Superfiliate or Aspire) or a network that runs it (Awin, CJ, Rakuten Advertising, Impact, ShareASale, FlexOffers, Sovrn Commerce). These briefly redirect you before the store opens and may set a cookie so the sale can be credited.
• We only list stores that run an affiliate program, so the lists do not cover every store or every product.

Featured partners

Some lists show a short row labeled Featured partners, under the top pick. Those products come from stores whose affiliate programs have approved us, and we show them because we earn a commission from those stores. We only feature a product that costs less per serving than the brand the list is compared with. Featured partners are not paid ads, and they do not change the list, which is sorted by price per serving.

Rankings and badges

The order of every list is price per serving, and badges such as Top pick or Best value follow the published rules on How it works. A commission does not decide either. If we ever run a paid placement, it will be labeled as one.

Discount codes

Some stores give our shoppers a discount code that is applied at checkout when you buy through our link. When they do, the price we show is the price after the code, and the product carries a tag with the code. The store sets the code's terms and can change or end it at any time; the price at the store's checkout is final.

Prices and stock

We check prices and stock once a day from each store's own website. They can change after we check. Shipping, tax and the final price are set by the store at checkout.

Health claims

These pages compare prices. They are not medical advice. We do not diagnose or treat disease. Supplement labels are not reviewed by the FDA for curing or preventing illness.

Creator links

Some people share Value Servings links with a short code on the end. That helps us credit them if a sale happens, and they may share in the commission. It does not change the price or the sort order.
