Affiliate Disclosure
Last updated: November 1, 2026
We want to be open about how Vaylido may earn money from travel partners.
1. Our commitment
Vaylido follows the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's Endorsement Guides and similar rules in other countries, including UK and EU consumer protection and advertising rules. This page explains how Vaylido may earn money and how that does and doesn't affect what you see.
2. What affiliate links are
Some links on Vaylido may be affiliate links. If you click one and make a booking or purchase, Vaylido may earn a commission or referral fee from that partner or from an affiliate network acting for that partner.
3. No extra cost to you
Commissions are paid by the partner. You pay the same price whether or not you use our link. Vaylido does not add fees or markups to partner prices.
4. Types of partners
We may work with partners and affiliate networks across travel categories, including:
- Hotels, resorts, all-inclusive brands, and vacation rentals
- Flights and travel search sites
- Tours, activities, and attraction tickets
- Cruises
- Car rentals and ground transportation
- Restaurant reservations
- Affiliate networks that manage programs for many travel brands
5. How recommendations are made
Vaylido's recommendations are based on what you ask for and your saved preferences. Whether a partner pays a commission does not change how options are chosen or ranked, and partners cannot pay to appear in AI recommendations. We may also recommend places with no affiliate relationship at all.
Featured content, such as Vacations of the Month, is chosen by Vaylido. If a featured trip includes partner links, it is covered by this disclosure.
6. Sponsored content and paid placements
Vaylido does not currently offer paid placements or sponsored listings. If we ever do, they will be clearly labeled as "Sponsored" or "Ad" wherever they appear, separately from regular recommendations.
7. Free products and other relationships
If Vaylido ever receives free stays, trips, or other benefits from a partner in connection with content we publish, we will say so next to that content.
8. How affiliate links are identified
Booking buttons and links that may earn Vaylido a commission will be identified in the app, close to the link itself, and this page is linked in the footer of every page.
9. Tracking and cookies
Travelpayouts Drive is on by default on Vaylido, unless you save a Marketing & partners opt-out on our Cookie Preferences page or your browser sends Global Privacy Control. It can connect eligible travel links to affiliate programs and measure referrals using cookies or similar technologies. When you click an affiliate link, the partner or network may also track the referral on its website under its own privacy policy. Vaylido does not send your profile, trips, or contact details to Drive. You can manage these choices on our Cookie Preferences page and remove stored partner cookies in your browser.
10. Bookings are with the partner
When you book through a partner, your booking, payment, cancellation, and refund are handled by that partner under its own terms. Prices and availability shown by partners can change. Please review its policies before booking. Vaylido is not a party to your booking.
11. Reviews and ratings
Ratings and review counts shown in Vaylido come from third-party sources such as Google and are not written or edited by Vaylido. Commissions do not affect which ratings are shown.
12. Current status
Travelpayouts Drive has been installed with a partner opt-out control. Installation alone does not confirm program approval, working commission attribution, or any advertised discount. In-app partner booking integrations and unverified vacation specials remain labeled as not yet active.
13. Questions
If you have questions about any partner relationship, please reach out through our contact form.
